 * Hi there!
 * I am trying to migrate my site to the new domain, but everytime I try I get this
   error message?
 * BackupGuard Error: Migration failed
    SGExceptionMigrationError: You should install
   BackupGuard Pro to be able to migrate the website. More detailed information 
   regarding features included in Free and Pro versions you can find here: [https://backup-guard.com/products/backup-wordpress](https://backup-guard.com/products/backup-wordpress)
 * Why would this be happening? I though you could migrate one site for free?

 * Hello [@joannerobin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joannerobin/),
 * Unfortunately no, migration package is available only in PRO versions. In order
   to migrate your website you need one of the paid versions.

 * yet another free plugin providing misguided descriptions that only relate to 
   the premium version.. 🙁
