## Kuvaus

**SitesEngine Site Migration & Backup** helps you move WordPress sites safely and
quickly.

Create full backup packages, import from file or URL, restore with one click, and
perform direct site migration between two websites using a secure destination connection
key.

Whether you are moving to a new host, creating a safety snapshot before changes,
or cloning a site to staging, this plugin gives you a clean workflow with progress
tracking and activity history.

### Core Features

 * Create portable `.empack` WordPress backup packages
 * Import backups from local file upload or remote URL
 * Direct site-to-site migration using destination connection key
 * Restore backups from the Backups tab
 * Backup details view with included components and status
 * Built-in activity history for backup/import/restore actions
 * Optional package password protection
 * Optional exclusions for database/content components
 * Automatic cleanup policy for older backups

### Migration Workflow

 1. Build a package on the source website.
 2. Transfer by URL + destination key, or download and import on destination.
 3. Confirm migration and monitor live progress.
 4. Restore and finalize automatically.

### Built for Site Owners and Agencies

 * Hosting migrations
 * Domain changes
 * Staging-to-production and production-to-staging workflows
 * Recovery from failed updates

## Asennus

## UKK

### What is a .empack file?

.empack is the backup package format used by this plugin. It stores your migration
package for import and restore workflows.

### Can I migrate directly from one live website to another?

Yes. Use the **Send Package to Another Website** section with the destination URL
and destination connection key.

### Why is direct URL migration disabled on local/dev sites?

For local/dev environments, direct URL transfer is blocked by design. Use file export/
import instead.

### Does this plugin replace the site URL automatically after restore?

Yes. The restore flow updates destination URLs and finalizes key site settings as
part of migration.

### Can I import a password-protected backup?

Yes. If a package is locked, enter the package password during import.

### Can I exclude parts of the site from backup?

Yes. You can exclude selected files/directories and database components from package
creation.

### Where are backups stored?

Backups are stored in a dedicated folder under `wp-content` created by the plugin.

### Can I delete old backups automatically?

Yes. Configure backup cleanup retention in Settings.

### Is this multisite compatible?

Current release is designed for standard single-site WordPress installs.
