FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I back up my WordPress site?

Install Fast Backups from Plugins → Add Plugin, open Fast Backups → Export and click Export. Your database, media, themes, plugins and supported site files are packaged into one .wpbackup file you can download.

What is included in a complete WordPress backup?

The database (including plugin and theme settings), the uploads folder, installed themes and plugins, supported site-root files and a validation manifest.

How do I restore WordPress from a backup?

Go to Fast Backups → Backups and click Restore, or upload a .wpbackup file under Import. The archive is validated, then the database and files are restored with live progress. A restore replaces the current site, so back up the destination first.

How do I migrate WordPress to a new host or domain?

Export a backup on the old site, install Fast Backups on the new site and import the file. On a different domain, old URLs are replaced, including inside serialized data. Afterwards, clear caches and re-save Settings → Permalinks.

Can I schedule automatic backups to Google Drive or FTP?

Yes. Create separate schedules for Local, FTP/FTPS and Google Drive. Choose hourly, every six hours, daily, weekly or monthly, and how many recent backups to keep.

Is there a backup or import size limit?

Fast Backups adds no limit of its own and uses chunked uploads when supported. Your host's upload, memory and disk limits still apply.

Can I password-protect my backups?

Yes. Tick “Encrypt with password” before exporting. The password can't be recovered, so keep it safe.

Is Fast Backups really free?

Yes. Backup, restore, migration and scheduled backups to Local, FTP and Google Drive are all included, free on WordPress.org.
