WP Reset comes with full WP-CLI support. Help on our WP-CLI commands is available via wp help reset. By default the commands have to exist confirmed but you tin apply the --yep option to skip confirmation. Instead of the active user, the first user with admin privileges institute in the database will be restored after reset.

Database Snapshots

Database snapshot is a copy of all WP database tables, standard and custom ones, saved in the currently used database (as set by wp-config.php). Files are non saved or included in snapshots in any mode.
Snapshots are primarily a development tool. Although they tin can be used for backups (and downloaded equally gzipped SQL dumps), we suggest finding a more suitable tool for doing backups of live sites. Use snapshots to find out what changes a plugin made to your database – what custom tables were created, modified, deleted or what changes were made to site'south settings. Or use it to quickly restore the development environs after testing database related changes.
Restoring a snapshot does not affect other snapshots, or WP Reset settings. Snapshots tin be compared to current database tables, restored (by overwriting current tables), exported ad gzipped SQL dumps, or deleted. Creating a snapshot on an average WordPress installation takes 1-2 seconds.

Multisite (WP-MU) Back up

WP Reset has notwithstanding to exist completely tested with multisite! Please exist careful when using information technology with multisite enabled. We don't recommend to resetting the chief site. Sub-sites should exist OK. We're working on making WP Reset fully uniform with WP-MU. Till then please exist careful. Thank you for understanding.
