You can restore that file on the same site, or use it to migrate the site to a new domain or a new host. #### Free features * **Full-site backup** to one `.wpqr` file: your database, media, plugins and themes. * **One-click restore** from a backup saved on your server, or restore from an uploaded file. You confirm before anything is overwritten. * **Chunked upload.** The file is sent in small pieces, so hosts with a small PHP upload limit are not a problem. Even a 2 MB limit works. * **Backup validation.** A backup is checked before anything on your site is overwritten, and you can verify a backup without restoring it. * **Confirmation before overwrite.** You are always asked before a restore replaces your current site. * **Serialization-safe URL replacement** when you restore on a new domain, so page- builder content and other serialized data keep working. * **Import of All-in-One WP Migration `.wpress` files.** There is no trial period, and nothing in the free plugin expires. #### Limits Backups can be of any total site size, but a single file larger than 200 MB is left out of the backup. The free version restores backups up to 512 MB; the optional Quick Restore Pro add-on removes that limit. WordPress Multisite is not supported yet. #### Moving from All-in-One WP Migration? Quick Restore reads `.wpress` files, so backups you already have stay usable. Go to Quick Restore > Restore and choose the file. #### Quick Restore Pro (optional paid add-on) Quick Restore Pro is a separate add-on plugin, sold as a one-time payment that includes 12 months of updates. * **Pro:** restores backups of any size. * **Pro Plus:** adds scheduled backups (daily, weekly, monthly or custom), keep- the-latest-N retention, an email with a secure download link after each scheduled backup, and a failure alert. * **Max:** Pro Plus with a licence for 5 sites.

It is uploaded in chunks, checked, and you confirm before anything is overwritten. More: https://polybrightlabs. com/quick-restore/features/import-wpress-files/ ### Can the free version restore a backup larger than 512 MB? No. The free version restores backups up to 512 MB, and Quick Restore Pro restores backups of any size. Backing up has no limit on total site size. ### Will my links break if I move WordPress to a new domain? When you restore a backup on a different domain, Quick Restore replaces the old site address with the new one in the database, including inside serialized data, so links and page-builder content keep working. Hard-coded file paths and addresses of other websites are not changed. More: https://polybrightlabs.com/quick-restore/ features/restore-to-new-domain/ ### Does it work on shared hosting with a small upload limit? Yes. Files are uploaded in pieces that fit inside your host’s upload limit, then joined on the server. Even a 2 MB PHP upload limit works. More: https://polybrightlabs. com/quick-restore/features/chunked-upload-large-files/ ### How do I restore my WordPress site from a backup? Go to Quick Restore > Backups and click Restore next to a backup saved on your server, or go to Quick Restore > Restore and upload a `.wpqr` or `.wpress` file. The backup is validated, you confirm, and then your site is restored. ### How do I clone a WordPress site to a new host? Install WordPress and this plugin on the new host. On the old site, go to Quick Restore > Export and create a backup, then download it. On the new site, go to Quick Restore > Restore and upload it. If the domain is different, URLs are replaced automatically. ### Where are my backups stored? On your own server, in a Quick Restore folder inside wp-content. Nothing is sent to Poly Bright Labs: the free plugin makes no outbound connections and has no tracking. ### Is Quick Restore Pro a subscription? No. It is a one-time payment that includes 12 months of updates. The add-on keeps working after that; you only need to renew to receive newer versions. ### Does it support WordPress Multisite? Not yet. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Poly Bright Quick Restore – Backup, Restore & Migration” is open source software.

Backups have no limit on total site size. Restoring larger backups requires the optional Quick Restore Pro add-on (one-time purchase, no subscription). * Oversized files are refused before upload begins, so no time is wasted uploading a backup that cannot be restored. * Added the wpqr_max_restore_size filter so extensions can raise or remove the restore limit. #### 2.0 * Critical fix: exports were stuck at “Archiving files… 0 done” forever. The resume position between steps was being written to a discarded copy of the state, so every step restarted from the first file and re-archived the same files endlessly. Fixed by passing state by reference. Exports now resume correctly and complete. * Progress counter now updates live during archiving instead of staying frozen. ## Meta * Version **3.0.1** * Last updated **18 hours ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 5.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.2 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/polybright-quick-restore/) * Tags * [backup](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/backup/)[clone](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/clone/) [migration](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/migration/)[restore](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/restore/) * [Advanced View](https://pirate.wordpress.org/plugins/polybright-quick-restore/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
