    Hello,
    My mac crashed but fortunately I did a backup to dropbox. My problem now is how I have to restore to another machine my WP site. I installed the plugin on a new installation of wordpress but there is not an option for restoring.
    In my dropbox the files are zipped in several files and I don’t know what I have to do now.
    Can you help me pleas?
    Thank you ??

    Hello,

    do you mean migration?

    Migration of website – if you backup one domain and try to restore it on another domain.

    Backup and restoring – if you backup one domain and restore it on the same domain.

    It works fully automatically in PRO plugin version.

    In FREE plugin version you will need to do some operations manually. For example: rename folders and files of your backup, replace of old domain in the name of files and folders to new domain name. After that you will see this backup on new website and you can start restoring. After restoring was done – don’t forget to change database configuration in wp-config.php of new website.
    PS: before restoring on new domain you will need to open database dump from backup archive, search and replace the old domain string and replace it to new domain string.
