MUDRAVA Migration & Backup

Move your WordPress site to another host or domain, keep a backup before a change, or restore a saved copy. MUDRAVA Migration & Backup puts your database and selected site files into a portable .mudrava archive.

The free plugin includes export, import and restore. You do not need a MUDRAVA account, and you do not need a paid extension to remove an archive size cap. Available disk, PHP and database resources still determine what your host can handle.

A complete free migration workflow

• Export your database and selected site files, including media, themes and plugins.
• Upload archives in chunks rather than one large request.
• Resume supported interrupted jobs from saved checkpoints.
• Protect an archive with optional password encryption.
• Split a backup into parts when that makes transfer easier.
• Exclude tables or paths you do not want to copy.
• Rewrite URLs, including recognized PHP-serialized values.
• Check the full archive before the restore begins replacing site data.

Check before you overwrite

Import first verifies the archive and checks restore paths. A standard restore also saves a backup of the destination site before applying the imported data. If available storage cannot hold that restore point, the interface explains the risk and requires explicit acknowledgement to proceed without it.

After an import error, the plugin attempts recovery from the restore point when one exists. Always inspect the recovered site; a restore point is a safety measure, not a guarantee against every host or database failure.

For larger sites and interrupted connections

Files are streamed in chunks and database rows are processed in batches. There is no paid size cap. A 100 GiB file was exported and restored in our test environment. Independent file hashes matched. That result does not guarantee every site or hosting configuration: free disk, request limits, filesystem support and unusually large database rows matter.

Exports advance through the admin page and can continue through WordPress cron when it is running. Keep the import page open until the restore finishes. Password encrypted jobs need the password supplied to continue.

Local backups without an account

The free plugin sends no telemetry and makes no external service requests. WordPress handles its normal plugin update checks. Archives are stored in a private directory outside the WordPress web root; the Environment screen warns if the host’s temporary directory is being used.

You can choose a durable private storage path with MUDRAVA_MB_STORAGE_DIR. Treat backups as sensitive: they contain the data and credentials already present in your site.

Compatibility and final migration checks

MUDRAVA currently supports standalone WordPress installations. Multisite is not supported by this release.

Migration fixtures with Elementor, Advanced Custom Fields and Polylang have been tested. This does not cover every widget, custom field type, plugin extension or configuration. Inspect your pages, links, media, translated routes and custom data after restoring.

Pause writes during the final export. Orders, form submissions, uploads and background integrations can change the source while it is being read. This release does not make a snapshot from one point in time of a changing site.
