Stagecopy finishes on cheap shared hosting where other plugins time out, keeps you logged in through a migration, and costs one payment instead of one every year.
Free backs up, restores and creates staging. Pro adds push-to-live, migration and schedules. No account needed for either.
Most backup plugins have forty settings and a dashboard that looks like a cockpit. Stagecopy has the three things you actually do.
Database and all files. Download it, restore it with one click, or keep the newest N automatically. Database-only mode takes seconds.
Export on the old site, drop the zip on the new one. URLs, paths and table prefix are rewritten, including serialized and JSON data. Your admin login survives.
Clone to /staging with its own tables, blocked from search engines. Break it, fix it, then push to live. Live is backed up first, automatically.
Backups are your files. You shouldn't rent access to them.
GPL. Also on WordPress.org.
Launch price for the first 200 licences.
30-day refund, no questions. Licence key by email in under a minute.

That is the point of it. Every task is split into short steps that save progress, so a 30-second execution limit just means more steps, not a failure.
Yes, plus a new folder path and a new table prefix. Serialized options and JSON block data are rewritten safely, not with a blind find-and-replace.
In a protected folder inside your own wp-content. Nothing is uploaded to us. Download them to keep an off-site copy.
