Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about RestorePilot Backup & Migration
Yes. RestorePilot stores the source site URL in the backup manifest and replaces it with the current site URL during restore — automatically.
No. Auto-detect is on by default. Manual URL fields are available in Advanced restore settings for edge cases.
Yes. URL replacement is applied after unserializing values where possible, then the values are serialized again. Incomplete PHP classes are safely skipped.
In a restorepilot-private-storage directory next to your WordPress installation — outside the web root, so no request can reach a backup even on servers that ignore .htaccess, which is most of them. If that directory cannot be created or written, RestorePilot falls back to a protected restorepilot-backup-migration folder under the uploads directory and says so on the Status tab. Either way the folder is excluded from future RestorePilot backups. You can choose the location yourself by defining RESTOREPILOT_STORAGE_DIR in wp-config.php; a directory you name that way is never deleted by the plugin, including on uninstall.
Every download now goes through WordPress, which checks that you are still allowed to have the file on each request. Earlier versions handed very large archives straight to the web server instead, which was faster but meant the download address kept working until a scheduled cleanup removed it — and on sites where WP-Cron is disabled or traffic is low, that could be a long time. A backup contains your whole database, so the link is checked rather than merely deleted later. Downloads are resumable: if a transfer is interrupted, your browser or download manager can continue it rather than starting again. If your host cuts off long requests and a large download will not complete, split the backup into volumes and fetch the parts, or re-enable the direct route by adding this to wp-config.php: define('RESTOREPILOT_DIRECT_DOWNLOADS', true); That trades the confidentiality of the download link for reliability on a slow host. Turn it on only if you need it.
RestorePilot excludes the backup archives created by other plugins (UpdraftPlus, Duplicator, BackupBuddy, WP Staging, etc.) to avoid including huge backup zips inside your backup. The backup plugins themselves (their code inside wp-content/plugins/) are included normally.
Deleting the plugin removes all RestorePilot backups, logs, temporary download files, background job data, backup locks, and scheduled events.
Two options: (1) RestorePilot automatically splits large uploads into chunks if you upload a single zip larger than the server limit. (2) Upload the zip into this site's WordPress uploads directory via FTP/SFTP and use Advanced restore settings → Server backup path during restore.
Many hosts refuse to create a file beyond a fixed size — the write fails with "File too large" no matter how much free disk space there is. RestorePilot therefore writes a backup as a set of volumes of up to 1 GB each: your-backup.zip, your-backup-v002.zip, and so on. A small site produces a single file and looks exactly as before. Keep the whole set together. To restore, place every volume in the same folder — RestorePilot reads them as one backup, and refuses to start if any volume is missing rather than restoring part of your site. If your host has a lower file size limit, a developer can reduce the volume size with the restorepilot_backup_volume_bytes filter. You never need to handle the volumes yourself: "Download Full Backup" always gives you a single file, even when the backup behind it is stored as several volumes — RestorePilot reassembles them into one download automatically. The individual volumes are still available under "Download volumes individually" if you ever need to retry just one piece.
Yes. A background backup or restore runs in short chunks rather than one long process, so a host execution-time limit, a proxy or CDN timeout, or anything else that cuts the process short does not lose the work already done — the next chunk continues from where the last one stopped, including partway through a single large database table during a restore. On a large site this can mean several chunks before the job finishes, which is expected and does not mean anything went wrong. Two things do not resume, and it is better to know which. The database export inside a backup is taken as one consistent snapshot; a database transaction cannot outlive the PHP process that opened it, so if that step is cut short it starts again rather than joining together tables read at different moments. And a scheduled (cron) daily backup runs as a single process throughout, so it does not chunk or resume at all. A restore also finds its place on each resumption by re-reading the rows it has already written, so a very large single table takes longer the more times the restore is interrupted.
