FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How large a site can BMR handle?
BMR uses chunked processing to split large directories into manageable ZIP parts. Combined with configurable Ajax thresholds, it handles sites of any size without running into memory or timeout limits.
Can I migrate between different domains?
Yes. When restoring on a new domain, BMR automatically performs search-and-replace on URLs in the database. Your internal links, image paths, and settings are all updated.
Is my data safe during a reset?
BMR requires multiple confirmation steps before any reset. We strongly recommend creating a backup first. You can optionally reactivate your current theme and plugins after the reset.
Does it work with WP-CLI and automation?
Yes. BMR ships with WP-CLI commands (wp bmr backup create/list/verify/delete) and 14 REST API endpoints for full programmatic control.
What does the Pro add-on include?
Pro adds scheduled backups (hourly to weekly), cloud storage (Amazon S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, SFTP), email notifications, WordPress core file backup, and AES-256-CBC encryption for stored credentials.
Is the free version limited in functionality?
No artificial limits. The free version includes full backup, restore, migrate, and reset capabilities, plus the complete REST API and WP-CLI integration. Pro adds automation and cloud features.
