Requires pro to restore on a blank server

Dear @ustechninja,

There’re just 2 simple migration scenarios:

• If database table prefix was changed
• If domain name was changed

What’s your case? If you keep these two inputs constant, then you can restore your archive using Free version. Migration isn’t just restoration. It takes places after restoration to make your database compatible with the new environment.

If you’re looking for a help regarding restoration, please open a support ticket here (https://backup-guard.com/products/backup-wordpress/support) and we’ll do our best to help you figure your issue out asap.

Our need was that if our server crashed, all we’d have to do it spin up another instance and restore the backup.

If you configure your new instance as the previous one, I mean if you keep 1) the same table prefix and 2) the domain name structure (e.g. from https://yoursite.com to https://www.yoursite.com) constant everything should be fine. If you could send me your restore log file I could analyze it for you.
