Quick and easy migrations

Why UpdraftPlus for WordPress migrations?
UpdraftPlus is the world’s preferred plugin for WordPress migrations, leading to more successful migrations through:
-
Manageable file sizes
Files are backed up as multiple .zip files, each sized according to your settings. During migration, these files are transferred in chunks, with the chunk size automatically adjusting for speed and stability. This approach ensures faster, more reliable migrations, even with limited storage.
-
Efficient handling of long-running tasks
If a PHP process times out, the backup pauses and resumes automatically. Our algorithm monitors runtime and schedules resumptions to stay within PHP limits.
-
Clever remote storage use
Files are transferred as they’re created, rather than all at once. This allows even servers with limited local storage to migrate successfully.
-
Chunked database backups
For large databases, UpdraftPlus processes rows in chunks to stay within memory limits. This ensures efficient and reliable migration, even for the largest tables.
-
Controlled restoration order
By migrating files first and the database last, UpdraftPlus minimises the risk of a failed restore or migration.
-
No partial database restores
Database migrations can be performed atomically (all at once), eliminating the risk of partial restores.
-
Migrate only what you need
Migrate just the database, or select plugins, themes, or uploads. With UpdraftPlus Premium, you can also restore individual database tables or specific plugins and files.
-
Secure migrations
UpdraftPlus uses RSA key pairs to establish a secure connection for migrations via RPC (Remote Procedure Call). All server communications are encrypted with AES, ensuring safe data transfer.
-
Search and replace built-in
UpdraftPlus automatically detects and updates old URLs, saving you time and reducing the risk of broken links from manual updates.
-
‘Behind the scenes’ clean-up tasks
Background clean-up tasks help with things like maintaining compatibility with other plugins, leading to smoother and more successful migrations.
