Snapshotify – All-in-One Backup & Restore & Migrate

Snapshotify is an all-in-one backup and migration plugin for WordPress. Create full-site snapshots with a single click, restore them just as easily, schedule automatic backups to run hands-off, and migrate your site to a new host or domain without touching a config file. Whether you’re guarding against disaster, staging a redesign, or moving a client site, Snapshotify handles the heavy lifting.

💾 Complete Backup & Restore, Simplified

• One-Click Backups – Create a full snapshot of your database and files in one click, with nothing to configure upfront.
• Upload Existing Backups – Upload a backup ZIP you already have and restore it directly from the dashboard.
• One-Click Restore – Restore any snapshot with a single click — Snapshotify handles extraction, database import, and URL migration automatically.
• Scheduled Backups (Pro) – Set up recurring automatic backups on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule and forget about it.
• Retention Policy – Automatically keep only the latest N backups to prevent disk bloat, while manual and uploaded backups are always preserved.
• Site Migration – Move your site to a new domain or host — Snapshotify rewrites all URLs and paths in the database automatically, handling serialized data safely.
• Easy Configuration – Configure and manage everything from a clean, intuitive settings panel with no coding required.

🗝️ What’s Inside

Snapshotify covers the full backup lifecycle with purpose-built components:

• Backup Engine: Full-site snapshot including database and files, packaged as a standard ZIP archive.
• Database Backup: Full MySQL dump included in every snapshot, compatible with standard SQL importers.

• Extractor: Reliable ZIP extraction with progress tracking and error reporting.
• SQL Importer: Batched SQL import that handles large databases without hitting PHP memory or execution limits.
• Migrator: Safe URL and path replacement across the entire database — deserializes and reserializes PHP data to maintain correctness.
• Scheduled Backups (Pro): WP-Cron-driven recurring backups with configurable frequency (daily, weekly, monthly).
• Retention Policy: Automatic pruning of old automatic backups, keeping your storage usage predictable.
