Backups Made Simple

  • Back Up In One Click

    Database, uploads, themes and plugins in numbered ZIP parts. Saved after every step, so a timeout never starts it over.

    2 of 2 parts verified
  • Restore With Undo

    Restore unlocks only when the backup passes its checks. Your current site is kept, so one click puts it back.

    Previous site kept
  • Move To A New Host

    Restore onto another WordPress install. Every address, serialized setting and table prefix is converted for you.

  • Off-Site, Your Way

    Movebase Cloud, your own IDrive e2, MEGA S4 or S3 bucket, or a download. Every part is checked after upload.

  • Made For Shared Hosting

    Movebase raises PHP memory the way WordPress does and works in smaller batches when it must.

Keep a copy on your server, on your computer, in Movebase Cloud, or in storage you already pay for.

Why People Trust Movebase

  • Checked Before Replacement

    Every part is checked against its checksum. Restore unlocks only when the backup passes.

  • Always A Way Back

    Your previous site is kept as a recovery copy. Changed your mind? Put it back in one click.

  • Progress That Survives

    Work is saved after every batch. A timeout, a closed tab or a paused host continues from the last step.

  • Fast On Ordinary Hosting

    Short time limits, low memory and blocked background requests are handled, and explained when they matter.

  • Private By Default

    Backups live outside your public website folder. Storage keys are encrypted and never sent to your sites.

  • Genuinely Free

    Backup, restore, migration and your own cloud storage are free. Only Movebase Cloud storage is paid.

  • Search and replace addresses, and hope serialized data survives.
  • No way to tell if a copy is complete until it fails.
  • Timeouts on shared hosting mean starting over.
  • One wrong step and the old site is gone.
  • Error messages that don’t say what to do next.

MovebaseMovebase

  • One backup of the whole site, files and database together.
  • Addresses converted everywhere, including table prefixes.
  • Every part checked before the Restore button unlocks.
  • Progress saved after every batch, so it carries on.
  • Your previous site kept, so one click undoes it.
  • Plain messages with the next step to take.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still can’t find the answer here? Read every answer or contact our support team.

What does a backup include?

Movebase backs up the database, uploads, themes and regular plugins, excluding Movebase itself. WordPress core, wp-config.php, root files, must-use plugins and drop-ins are not included. Keep separate copies of custom server configuration and anything outside this scope.

Can I close this page or turn off my internet?

Background work can continue when the host allows loopback requests and runs WordPress scheduled tasks. This is not guaranteed on every host. Browser uploads need the page and connection to remain available. Reopen Movebase to check progress; keep it open if background work stops.

Can I move my site to a new host or domain?

Yes. Install Movebase on the new WordPress site and restore your backup there: upload the ZIP parts, use your host’s File Manager, or pick it from your cloud storage. Movebase updates the site address everywhere it appears, including serialized settings, and converts standard table prefixes. Sign in afterwards with an administrator account from the old site.

How do I undo a restore or delete recovery copies?

Use Recover previous destination when available and confirm the destination URL. Recovery replaces changes made since restoration. Delete backup and recovery copies only after checking the website and keeping a separate backup; deletion removes that rollback option. Do not delete private job directories manually.

Do I need Movebase Cloud to use the plugin?

No. Backup, restore and migration are free in the plugin, and you can keep backups on your server or connect your own IDrive e2, MEGA S4 or S3-compatible storage. Movebase Cloud is optional.
