GrabWP Restore

No. This plugin only works with ZIP files exported by GrabWP Tenancy Pro’s backup feature.

Yes. This plugin replaces your entire database and renames your existing content directories to .old. You can restore them manually if needed.

The admin credentials from the exported site. Your current credentials will no longer work.

Before restoring, the plugin renames your existing plugins/, themes/, and uploads/ directories to plugins.old/, themes.old/, and uploads.old/. You can delete them after verifying the restore worked correctly.

The archive must fit within the server’s upload_max_filesize and post_max_size limits. Chunked uploads were removed so uploads can use WordPress core validation without custom file assembly.

The uploaded ZIP and restore job state are stored with private permissions in the operating system temporary directory. Restore refuses to start if that directory resolves inside the web root. database.sql is streamed directly from the ZIP and is never extracted to disk.

No. Restore is intentionally disabled on Multisite because replacing network-wide plugins, themes, and database tables safely requires a separate network-aware workflow.

Importing the database can replace the users and sessions tables. Remaining steps therefore use a high-entropy, short-lived job token. Only a hash of that token is stored, failed attempts are limited, and abandoned temporary state expires after six hours.
