ZHBackup – Restore & Migration is a full-site WordPress backup and restore plugin built for real migration workflows. It packages your database, media, plugins, themes, selected <code>wp-content</code> folders, root files, and optional custom root folders, then restores them through a chunked process designed to avoid request timeouts.
The database is stored as a structured package instead of one large SQL replay file, so large page-builder data, post meta, options, and other oversized values can be restored in smaller, traceable steps. Live activity logs show the progress of exports, imports, database rows, large values, file restore, validation, and cleanup.
After a restore, ZHBackup lets you review the site first and run stale-file cleanup separately from the restore process. This keeps restore completion predictable while still giving you a controlled way to remove old plugins, uploads, themes, and selected root-folder files that are not present in the backup.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Full-Site Backups — Back up the database, uploads, plugins, themes, mu-plugins, selected <code>wp-content</code> folders, root files, and optional custom root folders.</li>
<li>Structured Database Package — Export database schemas, row chunks, and large values separately for reliable restores of Elementor/page-builder data and other large rows.</li>
<li>Chunked Export and Restore — Process database and file operations in small AJAX steps to reduce timeout and memory-limit issues.</li>
<li>Browser Upload or Server Restore — Upload backups through the browser in resumable chunks, or place backups on the server via FTP/SFTP and restore from a table of available files.</li>
<li>Flexible Archive Formats — Create standard <code>.zip</code> backups or optimized <code>.zhbackup</code> archives.</li>
<li>Live Activity Logs — Follow professional export/import logs with database checkpoints, row counts, large-value restore events, file progress, validation, and cleanup status.</li>
<li>Post-Restore Cleanup — Save a cleanup plan after restore and run stale-file cleanup manually after reviewing the restored site.</li>
<li>Serialized-Safe Find & Replace — Update URLs safely across serialized PHP data, JSON-escaped URLs, and Elementor widget data.</li>
<li>Secure Backup Storage — Store backups outside the webroot when available, with <code>.htaccess</code>, <code>web.config</code>, and <code>index.php</code> protections when stored inside the site.</li>
<li>Retention Policies — Automatically clean up older backups by count or age using WP-Cron.</li>
<li>No Required Account — Use all backup, restore, migration, and cleanup features without a license key or forced signup.</li>

<h3>External services</h3>
ZHBackup includes an optional newsletter signup form on the plugin Settings page.
This feature connects to an external service hosted by Hassan Zain at <code>hassanzain.com</code>. It is used only to add the submitted email address to the ZHBackup newsletter or product updates list.
Data is sent only when an administrator manually submits the optional signup form. The plugin does not contact this service during normal backup, restore, migration, import, export, or find-and-replace usage.
When the form is submitted, the plugin sends:
<ul>
<li>Email address entered in the signup form</li>
<li>Site URL (<code>home_url()</code>)</li>
<li>Plugin slug (<code>zhbackup</code>)</li>
<li>Plugin version</li>
</ul>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
ZHBackup does not send telemetry or usage analytics during normal backup, restore, migration, import, export, or find-and-replace operations.
The only optional external data transfer is the administrator-initiated newsletter signup described above.

Aruba WordPress Migration Tool is a plugin that lets you transfer a WordPress website and database from one webspace to another one managed by Aruba.
Using this tool allows you to save time and perform the transfer securely and automatically. The plugin is used by entering a token, generated in the Aruba Hosting customer area.
Activating the Aruba WordPress Migration Tool will create a backup of content on your Aruba Hosting platform before deleting it to make space for the WordPress site that has been migrated.
Before continuing, please check that there is nothing on the WordPress website being transferred that could impede migration, for example:
<ul>
<li>Visualization errors</li>
<li>DNS problems</li>
<li>Login security measures (e.g. 2 factor authentication)</li>
<li>Personalized WordPress login pages</li>
</ul>
Third party resources we use:
<ul>
<li>The plugin uses Aruba API to comunicate with internal <a href="https://wptowporchestrator.aruba.it" rel="nofollow ugc">Migration services</a> to transfer data via secure channel from external hosted site to Aruba hosting. 
WPorchestrator in an initial phase verifies a token for validation of the data transfer, after which a backup of the site is created locally, which is passed to the WPorchestrator which uploads it to the S3 storage, at the end of the export, again the orchestrator moves the installation to the Aruba servers, all this is done in https and automatically.</li>
<li>Please refer to our <a href="https://hosting.aruba.it/en/terms-conditions.aspx" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms and conditions</a> for all the relevant legal matters</li>
