 * Hey [@kashifkiduniya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kashifkiduniya/),
 * Thanks for the feedback. Right now the process is somewhat manual. You basically
   create a root file filter then export the database file and manually export it
   on the install side and choose ‘Manual Package Extraction’.
 * We are working to automate this process further for uses and hope to have something
   out in the next few weeks. I’ll let you know when it ready via this thread.
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@kashifkiduniya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kashifkiduniya/),,
 * If you can give the developer version a try it should now have these options.
   The very latest version (1.2.7) can be found by following these instructions:
 *  -> [Download Latest Version](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/duplicator.zip)
   -
   > Uninstall your current version and install this one.
 * Let me know if this solves your issue~
 * Thanks

 * Hi Cory
    I appreciate your response! Actually i am a developer. And i migrate
   sites local machine to live almost on daily basis. I used so many other plugins
   even some paid. But after a long research finally i concluded that Duplicator
   is the best. And i still want to use Duplicator in the future even our Dev Team.
   Recently i had issue with a big site migration Live to Local Machine. File size
   was almost 2GB. I tried so many to create the package but in the mid package 
   crash. I know package crashing is because of low resources of hosting. Even i
   tried to use root filter and Manual Package Extraction on my local machine but
   don’t because of some reason i could not execute. That’s why i posted this question.
   And i am really glad to see your response. I will definitely try this version
   and will let you know.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks for the update! When creating the package you may try the mysqldump option
   it can be much faster with database creation.
 * Cheers~
