Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about BackReload – Backup, Restore & Migration

Yes. The backup engine is tick-based: it does a small amount of work on each cron tick rather than holding a long-running request. This keeps memory and time per request well within shared hosting limits.

The engine streams files into zip parts and uploads each part as it finishes, so disk and memory use stay bounded regardless of total site size. The largest single zip part is auto-tuned to roughly 80% of your PHP memory_limit (capped between 200 MB and 1 GB).

Yes. The Restore wizard detects that the source domain doesn't match the destination domain and runs an automatic URL/path rewrite during restore. Serialized values are walked safely.

You will not be able to restore them. There is no recovery mechanism. That's the entire point of encryption. Store your passphrase in a password manager.

Yes, three ways: 1. Upload the backup parts via Backups → Import. 2. Drop the part files into wp-content/uploads/backreload/backreload-import/ on the server and use Server folder import. 3. Configure the same storage destination on both sites and use Import → From destination to bring it across (no upload required).

No. The plugin only contacts storage destinations and notification channels that you explicitly configure. There is no telemetry.

Yes. A restore, import, or site-to-site migration brings back plugins, themes, and mu-plugins along with the database, uploads (media), and other wp-content files, so the site works immediately afterwards. The Restore wizard lets you untick any of these if you only want part of a backup. BackReload's own backup storage is never wiped, and the copy of BackReload running on the site is never replaced by the one inside the backup. If you prefer a data-only setup where code is never restored, define BACKRELOAD_DATA_ONLY as true in wp-config.php.

Yes. In Network Admin, BackReload backs up and restores the whole network, and every site keeps its own address. Each site also has its own BackReload, which works on that site only: its own backups, restores, and schedules. Only network admins can use either one. You can move a single site out of a network into a standalone WordPress site (Network Admin → BackReload → Sites → Move out). You can also bring a WordPress site into any site of the network with Receive, or by restoring its backup there. Users are matched by email, and only plugins and themes the network doesn't have are added. Moving a whole network to a different domain is not supported yet.

Uninstalling deletes all plugin settings, custom database tables, scheduled cron events, and transients. The backup archive files inside wp-content/uploads/backreload/ are NOT deleted. Those are your data and survive the uninstall in case you want to reinstall later. Delete that folder manually if you want a fully clean removal.
