Frequently asked questions
What does this plugin back up?
Your database, plugins, themes, uploads directory, and WordPress core files. Each component can be selected individually.
Where are backups stored?
Backups are stored in wp-content/uploads/emnes-backup-migrate-reset/ on your server. Each backup gets its own directory with a manifest file and compressed archives. With the Pro add-on, you can also store backups on Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, or a remote SFTP server.
Can I migrate my site to a new domain?
Yes. Export your backup from the source site, import it on the destination site, and the plugin will automatically perform search-and-replace on URLs during restoration. No manual database editing required.
Is there a REST API?
Yes. The plugin provides a full REST API under the ebmr/v1 namespace with 14 endpoints covering backup, restore, reset, import/export, settings, and progress tracking. All endpoints require admin authentication.
Does it support WP-CLI?
Yes. Available commands include: * wp ebmr backup create — Create a backup with optional component selection * wp ebmr backup list — List all backups in table, JSON, or CSV format * wp ebmr backup verify — Verify a backup’s integrity * wp ebmr backup delete — Delete a backup
Is this plugin multisite compatible?
The plugin works on individual sites within a multisite network. Network-wide backup is not currently supported. Uninstall cleanup runs across all sites in the network.
What happens when I uninstall the plugin?
All plugin options, audit log entries, backup metadata, and backup files in wp-content/uploads/emnes-backup-migrate-reset/ are removed.
How does backup verification work?
Each backup component generates a checksum during creation. The verify endpoint recalculates checksums and compares them against stored values to detect corruption or tampering.
Is there a file size limit for imports?
Yes. Imported ZIP archives are validated against a 2 GB total size limit and 512 MB per-file limit to prevent ZIP bomb attacks. These limits are configurable via filters.
