Every Quick Restore backup includes a full export of your WordPress database — every post, page, product, order, comment, setting, and plugin table, packed into the same single .wpqr file as your media and files. This is not a separate, optional step; it is the core of what a backup means, and it is included on every tier, including free.
What actually gets backed up
The database export covers every table WordPress and your plugins create — not just core content tables. That means WooCommerce orders and customer records, form plugin submissions, SEO plugin settings, page builder data, and any custom table a plugin has added are all captured in the same pass. Nothing needs a separate export.
Why database backup alone is not enough
A database-only backup can restore your content, but not your media library, your active plugins, or your theme — which is why some tools that call themselves “database backup plugins” leave you with a site that has all its posts back but none of the images, and none of the plugins that made those posts work correctly. Quick Restore backs up the database as part of one unified archive specifically so a restore is never partial.
How the export stays safe on large or busy databases
The export runs in batches rather than a single long-running query, so a large WooCommerce store’s order history does not time out on shared hosting with tight execution limits. Each batch is verified before the next one starts, so a database with tens of thousands of rows backs up reliably rather than silently truncating partway through — a real risk with simpler backup tools on constrained hosting.
Restoring the database safely
On restore, the database is staged before anything is written to your live tables, and validated against the backup’s own manifest first. If the validation step finds a mismatch, the restore stops before touching your live site rather than partially overwriting it — the same discipline applied to every other part of a Quick Restore backup.
Available on every tier
Full database backup is included on Free, Pro, Pro Plus, and Max — it is not a paid upgrade. What differs between tiers is size limits (Free caps at 512 MB total backup size, Pro and above remove that), automation (Pro Plus adds scheduling), and how many sites one licence covers (Max extends to five).
