WordPress backups on autopilot, migrations without the stress
The free Migrator already runs scheduled backups and copies them to FTP or a folder. Migrator Pro adds incremental backups, one-click recovery-point rollback, email notifications, off-site copies to the cloud, SFTP and WebDAV, server-to-server transfer run from wp-admin, encryption, multisite, and a standalone installer that deploys to a brand-new server.

Works with: WooCommerce, Multisite, Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces, Dropbox, Google Drive, FTP / SFTP / WebDAV, WP-CLI, Multisite

Manual backups fail exactly when you need them
A backup made once in a while and kept on the same server saves nobody after a disk failure or a bad update. And moving to a new host is usually hours of hand work with the database and files.
- ✗ Backups taken by hand, so often not at all
- ✗ A backup on the same server dies with the site
- ✗ No quick undo after a bad update
- ✗ Migrating to an empty server means installing WordPress and the database by hand
Migrator Pro keeps your backups and moves running for you
- ✓ Incremental mode for the free edition's scheduler: only changed files, the database always in full
- ✓ Recovery points: roll the whole site back to a known-good state in one click
- ✓ Copies to S3-compatible storage, SFTP and WebDAV, alongside the free edition's FTP and folder copies
- ✓ An installer that deploys the site from a backup on a server with no WordPress
PRO features
Scheduled backups and FTP or folder copies are already in the free plugin. PRO puts the copies further away, keeps them smaller and gets you back faster. Every feature ships in the current release.
Incremental backups
Scheduled backups store only the files that changed, and every archive still carries the full database.
Recovery points
A list of known-good backups with one-click rollback. A point is captured automatically after every successful backup or on demand, and remembers the site URL and database prefix.
Email notifications
Get an email when a scheduled backup completes or fails, so a silent failure never slips by.
Activity log
A newest-first record of backups, restores, off-site copies and recovery points.
Cloud destinations
S3-compatible storage with presets (S3, R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, DigitalOcean Spaces), SFTP and WebDAV (Nextcloud, ownCloud), on top of the FTP/FTPS and folder copies in the free plugin.
Server-to-server transfer from wp-admin
Pull a site from one server to another from the Site Transfer screen in wp-admin, with a key generated on the old site and no manual download. The free Migrator moves a site between servers from WP-CLI; PRO adds a button in the admin for it.
Encrypted backups
Password-protected backups; the archive is decrypted on the fly when you restore.
Multisite, network to network
Back up and migrate a whole multisite network, with correct URL rewriting. The admin moves a network onto a network; pulling a single subsite out is a WP-CLI job.
Deploy to a new server
A standalone installer downloads WordPress core, extracts the files, imports the database, rewrites URLs and writes wp-config.php. It can also fetch the backup itself from a link, including a presigned S3, R2 or Dropbox URL.
Table sync
Pick database tables from a backup and import only those into the live site. Push content from staging without rolling back the orders, customers and comments that arrived in the meantime. Preview what would change first, and the chosen tables are dumped before anything is written.
Reset a site to a clean install
Takes a staging site back to fresh WordPress without reinstalling: a safety backup, the tables dropped, a clean install, and the address, title and administrator password put back. Single sites only, not networks.
White label
An agency replaces the menu name with its own, points the upgrade link elsewhere and hides the purchase prompt, so the client sees the tool under the agency's brand.
Three steps to start
Install alongside the free Migrator, switch on incremental mode and pick a cloud destination.
01
Install PRO
Activate Migrator Pro alongside the free Migrator and enter your licence key.
02
Turn on incremental mode
On the free edition's schedule screen, pick incremental backups and, if you like, an encryption password.
03

Choose S3-compatible storage, SFTP or WebDAV as the destination and turn on email notifications.

Frequently asked questions
Does Migrator Pro require the free Migrator plugin?
Yes. Migrator Pro is an add-on, it requires the free Migrator plugin installed and active. PRO uses the same backup engine.
What ships today?
Incremental backups, recovery points, email notifications, an activity log, cloud backups (S3/R2/B2/Wasabi/DO Spaces) plus WebDAV/Dropbox/Google Drive, server-to-server transfer from wp-admin, table sync, encryption, multisite and the deploy installer. Scheduled backups and FTP are in the free Migrator.
Can I import only some database tables?
Yes. Table Sync reads a backup, lists its tables with row counts and imports only the ones you tick into this live site. Users, comments and WooCommerce orders are on the list but never pre-ticked, and you can preview the change before anything is written.
What are recovery points?
A rolling list of known-good backups. You can roll the whole site back to any of them in one click; each point remembers the site URL and database prefix, so you know exactly which state you are returning to.
How does deploy to a new server work?
You download a standalone installer and a backup, upload both to the new server and open the installer in your browser. It downloads WordPress core, extracts the files, imports the database, rewrites URLs and writes wp-config.php.
How much does PRO cost?
€49/year for 1 site, €89 for 5 sites and €149 for unlimited, billed in EUR via Freemius. PL visitors see an approximate PLN price.
Can Migrator Pro send one backup to several destinations at once?
No. A backup job uses one off-site destination at a time.
Can I choose an hour for scheduled backups?
No. Backups can run every 2, 4 or 12 hours, daily or weekly, counted from when you save the schedule. There is no setting for a specific hour.
Backups and migrations on autopilot
Start with the free Migrator, scheduling and FTP copies included, and when you need incremental backups, cloud, rollback and deploy-to-a-new-server, turn on PRO.
