A SPECIAL NOTE ON WORDPRESS MIGRATION

A WordPress site migration is an easy task if performed properly. There are three different migration scenarios:

  • Migrate site from a subdirectory of a domain to the root directory
  • Migrate site from a local installation to a remote installation
  • Migrate site between domains or hosts

Backup Guard free version will help you migrate your website in case there is no change in the domain or the Database prefix.
If there is any change in the domain or the DB prefix, Backup Guard Pro will be of use.

Backup Guard Pro helps you to migrate in all of the above mentioned three cases in the smoothest possible way. You just have to Backup your site and Restore it in the new location. No additional work will be required, since we handle all changes for you.

The issues that users always deal with are: wrong site URL, images not loading, dashboard not being accessible, permalinks not working and more.

Backup Guard Pro will help you to skip all these problems because of its advanced refactoring and migrating engine.

Does Backup Guard provide migration with the free version?

It is possible to use migration with the free version if:
1. There is no change in the domain.
2. There is no change in the Database prefix.
Please note that even a single symbol change counts as a migration that should be done with the Pro version

Can I use BackupGuard to migrate a website?

The answer is Yes, you can! Backup Guard Pro supports advanced migration functionality which will help you easily migrate your website from one domain to another. All urls, images and other domain-dependent data will be properly refactored and deployed for the new domain.

What is included in the basic (free) plan?

Backup Guard Free gives you the ability to backup or restore your website as many times as you want. You can also download your backups and import them in other websites where Backup Guard is installed and running.

Why should I purchase Backup Guard Pro?

Although Backup Guard Free gives you the ability to backup and restore your website as many times as you want, your backups will only reside on your server. With our Pro plans you can upload your backups to the cloud of your preference, schedule your backups, receive notifications, and many other features.

That’s not all, if you are a paid user, you will receive priority/emergency support and finally, only with our Platinum plan, you will receive “unlimited plans” license which will allow you to install Backup Guard on as many websites as you want.

I have used other plugins before but so far, BackUp Guard is the best. I had issues with their plugin for a while, sent a message to their tech support, and got a prompt response. Their support was really great and now my issue is resolved. Totally happy with them.

I am using the pro version of this plugin for more than a year. It is doing excellent its backup job. The support team is fast and responsive. I would recommend this plugin for onsite or cloud backup (I using the cloud)
1 Jun 2022
It is not the best backup plugin out there. They have a long way to go, development is slow. But it currently works well. It also had hiccups sometimes. The support team is responsive enough to solve the problems.
11 Mei 2022
If you had asked me a few months ago - I would have told you this is an excellent plugin and don't think twice about using it. Now my recommendation is run and never look back! After a few months of not being able to backup my clients' websites, restore them, and experiencing unbelievably bad, and unresponsive support (what happened to your support?!) - I have switched to another FREE plugin (Updraft Plus) that actually does what it's supposed to do. I have been so patient with your support, I have actually paid you money because I believed in you and even recommended it to many of my colleagues. I feel terribly cheated.
29 April 2022
I was having backup issues with DropBox and reached out to the support team. Jay was all over it, providing suggestions and researching the problem for me. He discovered it was a problem on Dropbox's end and we got the backups working as they should. Thanks so much for your diligence, Jay!
