    Hello Paul,

    We support any database migration as long as it’s also commonly supported by WordPress. So this means that most WordPress based hosting now supports MySQL and MariaDB – so this is supported by default when you migrate database.

    Regarding database versions – it would be best to stick to the database version that also supported by latest WordPress versions for best compatibility. So currently this is MySQL version 5.7 or greater and MariaDB 10.4 or greater . For details on minimum technical requirements with Prime Mover – we have this documentation that shows the complete minimum supported requirements including the database specifications.

    Regarding your question on binary logs – currently the database migration/ backup export only contains the .sql file of the site. It does not use any binary logs or positions in the backup. This is the same as when running simple mysqldump command when backing up the database. In addition – incremental backups using binary log is also not currently supported.

    That’s it, thanks again for your question. Cheers!
