Please Note:

• Sellcloud Backup Pro plugin does not restore the .htaccess and wpconfig.php files as it can easily cause problems to restore the same .htaccess and wpconfig.php files on a different site. You should download and copy them manually as needed.
• Sellcloud plugin will exclude itself from a backup or migration. You can export the plugin settings from the old site and import them into the new migrated site on the plugin Settings page.

In case you can't find any of the backups you've created, trying using the "scan" feature. This will prompt Sellcloud to check the selected directory again. Once you've found the backup you need, you can download or restore it with one click.

You can also click "Details" to view the contents of each backup. To delete a backup, click the trash can icon or select their checkbox and click "Delete the selected backups."

If you have other backup files lying around like on your PC or hard drive, you can consolidate them with your Sellcloud backups using the upload tool. Just switch to the "Upload" tab and drop your backup files or click "Select Files" to begin the process.
