SiteVault – Backup, Restore, Migration & Cloning

SiteVault is a free WordPress backup, restore, and migration plugin built for reliability. Back up your entire site — database, plugins, themes, and uploads — with one click. Restore from any backup instantly, or create a migration package to move your site to a new host with automatic URL remapping and serialized data handling.

No account required, no file size limits, no backup caps. SiteVault stores everything locally in a protected directory, works on shared hosting, and handles large sites with async processing so you never hit timeout or memory errors.

Works With Your Hosting & Stack

SiteVault runs on any standards-compliant WordPress host and backs up any content stored in your database and uploads directory:

• Shared hosting — Async chunked processing keeps backups completing reliably under strict PHP timeout and memory limits.
• Managed hosting — Host-specific exclusion paths are detected and respected automatically.
• eCommerce and memberships — Customer orders, products, course progress, and membership data are backed up as standard WordPress posts and meta.
• Page builders — Builder content stored in post meta and serialized fields is captured intact regardless of which builder created it.
• Multilingual — Translated posts and language taxonomies back up with all language relationships preserved.
• Caching plugins — Common cache directories are auto-detected and excluded so backup sizes stay lean.
