If you choose the complete export mode, which is “Export database, media files, plugins, and themes.”, it will export the following:

  • Database of your site. (one SQL file), You can encrypt this database using the PRO version.
  • All files in your wp-content/uploads directory for a single site or wp-content/uploads/sites/[blog_id] in case of a multisite subsite. You can exclude files in the PRO version. You can also encrypt all these media files in the PRO version.
  • All activated plugins for that site (including network-activated plugins if you are in a multisite) are exported. You can exclude these plugins in the PRO version for both single-site and multisite. You can also encrypt plugin files for security reasons and to avoid code tampering.
  • The site’s current activated theme (parent theme or parent theme + child theme if both are used). In the PRO version, you can choose to encrypt both parent and child themes for the best security.

It does not currently include the following:

  • WordPress core files. This is not needed since most WordPress installations assume they are using the latest version for security reasons.
  • All files outside your WordPress installation. For example, you have a custom directory created outside your WordPress installation that is NOT in the site uploads directory.
  • wp-config.php Of the site. This is not needed since it will always use the wp-config.php of the target site.
  • .htaccess or any other server configurations (such as in nginx, etc.)—this is also not needed since it will always use the target site server configurations for maximum compatibility.
