How to Migrate your WordPress site from Local Folder

All-in-one solution for Backup, Restore and Migration.

How to Migrate your WordPress site from Local Folder

Overview

In this guide we will help you migrate your WordPress site when the backup is created on Local folder.

Migrating WordPress site

We have 2 ways to Sync Local Backups, make sure you check which version of Backuply you are using.

For Version 1.1.0 And above

In version 1.1.0 we added option to sync Local Backup, so any backup created in and after version 1.1.0 can be synced.

Here are the steps you need to follow if your backup was created in version 1.1.0, and if you do the steps below and still your local backup doesn't sync then either contact the support or try the steps for version below 

Here we are assuming you have already created a backup.

  • Once you have created a backup download the backup file.
  • Now go to the file manager of your new site and upload the backup file to /wp-content/backuply/backups folder, do it after you have installed Backuply else you wont find the given folder.
  • After you have uploaded the backup file go to Backuply Dashboard on your new site where you want to migrate. Then go to Backup History Tab and there you will find the sync button at top left corner and then select Local Folder and click on the sync button and the backup will be synced and then refresh and your backup will be visible there.
  • Now just click on restore and wait for restore to complete. Once restore completes your website would be completely migrated and you are free to use it.
Sync Local Backups

For version below 1.1.0

Here we are assuming you have already created a backup.

  • Once you have created a backup download the backup file. After that download the info file too which is located inside wp-content/backuply/backups-info directory, the info file name will be same as the backup file but the extension of the file will be .php
  • Now go to the file manager of your new site and upload the backup file to /wp-content/backuply/backups folder and the info file to /wp-content/backuply/backup-info folder.
  • After you have uploaded both files go to Backuply Dashboard on your new site where you want to migrate. then go to Backup History Tab and there you will find the backup you want to migrate.
  • Now just click on restore and wait for restore to complete. Once restore completes your website would be completely migrated and you are free to use it.
