About this plugin
shiftbox file. Download it, upload it to another site, and Shiftbox moves everything over and updates every link and file path to the new address.
No size cap
There is no built-in import limit. Your server’s upload limit does not matter either: Shiftbox sends the file in pieces that always fit what the server accepts. You can set your own import and backup limits in Settings (for example 10 MB, 10 GB or unlimited).
Uploads and downloads that resume
If your connection drops halfway through a 5 GB upload, Shiftbox continues from where it stopped, even after you reload the page. Downloads support HTTP ranges, so browsers and download managers can resume them too.
Your site stays up while restoring
Most migration tools overwrite your live database and files step by step, so a failure halfway leaves a broken site. Shiftbox unpacks files into a staging folder and loads the database into temporary tables. Your live site keeps working the whole time.
Only the last step switches everything over, and it takes seconds.
Switching from All-in-One WP Migration?
wpress backups too. wpress files already saved on the site by All-in-One WP Migration are listed there with a Restore button. Compressed backups are supported; password-protected ones are not.
Restore is free
Restoring a backup from the list, or from a file you upload, is included. So are scheduled backups.
Built for shared hosting
- Work is done in short steps, so PHP time limits do not stop a large backup or restore.
- Three performance modes: Safe, Balanced and Turbo.
- An optional speed cap keeps transfers from slowing down your site for visitors.
- Upload pieces grow on fast connections and shrink when the server pushes back.
Careful with your data
- Links inside serialized data (widgets, page builders, theme options) are updated without breaking them. Serialized data is parsed, never unserialized, so no PHP objects are created.
- Moving between different table prefixes, and from MySQL 8 to MariaDB, is handled automatically.
- Cache drop-ins and hosting-specific must-use plugins are not copied to a new server.
- Backups are stored in a protected folder with long random file names.
- Every action checks permissions and a security token.
