Best Overall
Not Directly Comparable

These plugins back up different amounts of data — see the Backup Scope badges below. Speed and storage comparisons are not apples-to-apples.

⚠️Different backup scope -- results may not be directly comparable

One plugin backs up more data categories than the other, which affects both speed and archive size.

Backup Scope

All-in-One WP Migration
DBPluginsThemesUploadswp-configWP Core

⚠️ No WordPress core files (wp-admin, wp-includes). Restoring onto a bare server needs a separate WordPress install.

wp-config.php is not in the archive. Plugins that leave it out rebuild it during their own restore, so this is recorded rather than penalised. Why
