About this plugin
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? 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.

- Truly Free Forever: No limits on the number of backups, no restriction on schedules, and no locked basic features.
