Migrating WordPress sites

Generally, we develop sites on a staging server before migrating to the live server. The process of manually migrating sites is not practical in most scenarios as we have to manually back up the database, files, uploaded media, and upload to another server via FTP. So, we need to use a tool that allows us to automate the tasks of this process with a smooth migration. There are plugins that allow you to back up the database, files, and media separately, and then import them manually to the live server.
