You can certainly try with backup plugins. But if you want to make things easy on yourself, I would strongly suggest against wasting time with those. Backup plugins, at least on our hosting, generally don’t work due to file size and server power needed to restore a site that way.

Going the route that’s recommended both [by us](https://forum.infinityfree.com/t/how-to-migrate-your-website-to-infinityfree/49315) and [by WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/article/moving-wordpress/), which is to move the files and database by hand, is the method with the highest chance of success.
