MagicWP Backup is a full backup, restore, and migration engine for WordPress, built for large sites and low-resource hosting.
- Chunked, resumable backups (database + files) that fit shared-hosting time and memory limits.
- Safe restore with integrity checks, a destructive-action confirmation, automatic table-prefix remapping, and serialized-safe URL search/replace.
- One-click site-to-site migration with hashed transfer tokens.
- Configurable exclusions (quick toggles + file-size limit), scheduled cleanup, and a structured log viewer with export.
- Caching plugins, their cache files, and the
object-cache.php/advanced-cache.phpdrop-ins are left out of every backup and restore, so a site never inherits a cache backend it does not have. - PSR-4 architecture (Composer-free), REST API at
/wp-json/magicwp-backup-restore-migration/v1/with capability + nonce protection.

Restore — restore from a backup on this site (or upload an archive) with a destructive-action warning.
Migration — generate a transfer token to send this site, or paste a token and source URL to receive one.
Migration — the generated transfer token and source URL, shown in a modal with Copy buttons.
Settings — exclusions: quick toggles, additional excluded paths, and an "exclude files larger than" limit.
