Almost perfect
-
I used this to move a site from one server to another. The backup was super smooth and took just minutes. The restore on the new server took 8 or 9 hours, which really puzzled me. I almost killed it and started over, but I could see it was making progress so I left it. I have no idea what was going on, it could have been my (budget) server, or anything so YMMV.
During the slow time I peeked inside the backup to see what my options were, and was very happy to see it’s just a bunch of SQL files and my WP files, so in a pinch I could have manually imported everything with WP-CLI.
In the end it did exactly what it said it would, and filled my need. Don’t let my slowness issue keep you from trying it.
