[HOSTING] migrate multisite to WPMU DEV hosting

I’m trying to migrate a site to WPMU DEV HOSTING but it stuck at 7%.

I try to exclude large files because the site is 31GB, but still no luck.

Can you help me with that?

    Hi imaginetek

    My apologies for the delay here,

    Shipper or any other plugin will compact all Folders and Files from WordPress directory; it was causing a big size file (31GB total) and stuck the plugin process.

    I see you have different sites/folders/files inside the WordPress installation Folder, so I had to move manually only the WordPress files, and remove some old backups zip from /uploads/wp-content/snapshot and other temp and log files to the site be smaller than 10GB which is the plan storage.

    Our hosting service run daily backups, so Snapshot is no longer necessary for Managed Backups, you can use the plugin if you would like to keep a backup copy on an external location, for example, Google Drive, or for single subsite backups.

    You should be able the access your temporary URL and set the new Domain for that site, however, please, access the old site using the FTP and check if you still need some old files and move those to the new site using a software like Filezilla, as said, we moved only the WordPress core files and folder.

    Let us know if you need any further help on this.

    Best Regards,

    Hi imaginetek

    Hope you are doing well.

    I see there is a lot of temp files too inside that folder. I suggest deleting using cPanel or FTP the wp-content/uploads/snapshot, the plugin will recreate this folder, to start over, and set to keep only a limit of copies in the server.

    However, as I said, Snapshot isn't necessary once our hosting creates a daily backup, the migration is completed, and you can access the temp URL and add your domain on your Hosting Portal.
