BackShift — Backup & Migration

Is your backup plugin crashing midway? Most popular backup plugins fail on cheap or strict shared hosting because of PHP timeouts and memory execution limits.

BackShift changes that. Built with a smart Chunked Engine, BackShift breaks large site archives into tiny, bite-sized tasks. It runs smoothly on restricted servers where other plugins fail—preventing the dreaded “504 Gateway Timeout” or “Server Memory Exhausted” errors.

Best of all? In version 2.0.9, we completely removed all feature gating and retention limits from the free version. You get professional-grade, unrestricted local backups and migrations completely free.

Why choose BackShift over traditional plugins?

• Zero Timeout Engine: Engineered specifically to bypass execution limits on budget shared hosting.
• WordPress 7 Ready: Fully tested and optimized for the latest major WordPress 7 releases.
• Truly Free Forever: No limits on the number of backups, no restriction on schedules, and no locked basic features.
• Lightweight & Clean: Optimized assets, direct file streaming, and zero database bloating (the legacy Activity Log is completely removed).

Core Features (100% Free):
* One-Click Full Backups: Archive your entire website—both files and database—in seconds.
