Living and doing business in the Digital Age has many advantages. However, we also live in an environment where we are continuously under the potential threat of having our digital information hacked into and our business and personal data stolen and manipulated.
If you own or manage anything where information can be viewed online like a blog or website, then you need to always keep in mind website security and the importance of having an internet security plan.
In addition to having an internet security and site recovery plan for your business, you will also want to prevent losing data from accidents that can set your business back. Having a way to restore your site, files or data in extreme cases is something that can only be appreciated once it’s too late.
Then again, you may also want to save time. If you need to copy data from a number of websites or blogs, having a smart way of cloning website information from one site to another would be most convenient.
As the saying goes, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your web files, therefore, is something that everyone should do. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, site owners almost never do it, or don’t do it as often as it should be done.
Let’s face it … getting your web site hacked, losing data, and installing scripts that bring down your site is all part of doing business online. If disaster ever strikes, then you will need a quick and easy way to restore lost files, restore your site to an earlier version, or even complete reinstall your site and information.
Fortunately, if you use WordPress, then it’s easy to create backups of your WordPress database and site files, clone your site to another location and restore previous backups of your site.

“This is exactly what I was looking for! Literally 2 minutes after initial download, I had a completely cloned and perfectly set up blog … literally saving me at least 30 minutes of set up. When I combine that with the time it would have taken me to set up the dozens of sites I build each month — you get the picture. Worth its weight in gold” Jenn Dize, DollhouseSales.com

Plugin Tips
Here are some great uses for Backup Creator:
Instant Documentation Of All Your Website Processes.
Instead of spending loads of time documenting all the steps you would normally have to document in order to set up a new site, you can simply set up your site exactly how you want it, back it up|recreate your site and then restore it somewhere else and you’ve now got an exact, “documented” copy of your site setup.
For example, let’s say that you want to set up multiple sites including identical plugins, settings, and configurations in different niche areas. This could be for a regional food service outlet, or a travel agency with offices in different locations, where each store will look after their own separate blog. Think of all the time spent tweaking and finetuning your discussion settings, permalinks, configuring SEO plugins and navigation menus, creating the main content sections, customizing your theme, etc. You can now instantly install a fully-functioning, perfectly configured blog every time with only a couple of mouse clicks.
Copy A Site With Correct Internal Links.
Simply downloading WordPress files and restoring WP file backups won’t clone your websites or blogs successfully. You also need to copy the WordPress database and ensure that it references the new domain. Otherwise, your data will be restored to another site, but still be pointing back to the old domain. This is why it’s important to use a backup plugin that was specifically designed for cloning. This allows you to perform a backup of site ”A” in seconds and restore it to site “B” with all your theme customizations, plugin and site settings and configurations included, and everything will be pointing to the new site (i.e. site “B”), instead of referencing the old one (site “A”).
Don’t Fix Serious Problems … Just Restore!
Here’s another practical time-saving tip: if your website did get hacked, or an unauthorized user somehow gets in and causes some kind of damage to your site, instead of spending days or weeks trying to repair the problem, just make a backup of your site, delete your old site, then restore a previous working version. Your site will be up and running again and you can then send the damaged site’s backup files to a WP expert who can then try to understand how your site got interfered with and how to patch up or report any vulnerabilities.
Here’s one last tip:
Archive Your Site’s Changes Over Time.
Imagine that a couple of years from now your business has grown and transformed into an online success. Wouldn’t it be great to show people how your business online got started? Or maybe you’ve made things so complex and would like to restore things to a simpler place. Perhaps you’ve accidentally deleted a bunch of articles and want to get these back.
If you keep a weekly backup of your site, your chances of losing important information are almost negligible because you no longer need to worry about where you have stored or organized all your files. Just go back to when you remember you had published that file, restore your backup (note: it can be retrieved from anywhere, even on a test site) and retrieve the file you need.
