The Information Age has revolutionized how we live and do business. However, it has also placed us in a position where we are constantly under the potential threat of having our websites and social media accounts being infected by malicious viruses and our business and personal data stolen and manipulated.
If you manage anything where data can be visited online like a blog or company website, then you need to always keep in mind website security and the urgency of having an online business security plan.
In addition to creating an internet security plan for your business, you will also want to prevent losing valuable data from accidental errors that can cause significant damage or disruption to your business. Having a way to restore your site, files or data in extreme cases is something that can only be appreciated after it’s too late.
Then again, you may just want to save time. If parts of your business involve setting up loads of websites or blogs, having a time-saving way of cloning site information from one site to another would be most convenient.
As the adage goes, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your WordPress blog, therefore, is absolutely necessary. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, people almost never do it, or don’t do it as often as this should be done.
Let’s face it … getting hacked, losing data, and making errors that can break your site is all part of the reality of owning an online business presence. If something this tragic ever happens to you, then you will need an easy and quick way to restore old content, get back an earlier version of your site, or even complete reinstall your site and previous web content.
Fortunately, if you own a WP-powered website, then it’s easy to create backups of your WP database and website files, copy your site to another location and restore previous backups of your data.

Plugin Tips
Here are some great uses for this tool:
Document Your Site Processes As You Go.
Instead of spending a lot of time documenting all of the processes necessary to make your website or blog work “just right”, or writing out a website setup manual, you can just set up your site exactly the way you want it, back it up|make an identical copy of site and then restore it to another location and you’ve now got an exact, “documented” copy of your site setup.
For example, let’s say that you want to set up various websites using identical plugins and settings in different niche areas. This could be for a franchised food service outlet, or a real estate agency with offices in several locations, where each branch will manage the content of their own separate blog. Think of all the time spent tweaking and finetuning your discussion settings, permalinks, configuring different plugins and navigation menus, creating site categories, customizing the theme, etc. Now you can save loads of time and install a fully-functioning, completely configured site every single time with just a few mouse clicks.
Copy A Web Site With Correct Internal URLs.
Simply downloading WP files and restoring WP files won’t duplicate your websites or blogs successfully. You also need to copy the WordPress database and ensure that your site URLs point to the new domain. Otherwise, your WordPress database data will be restored to another location, but still be pointing back to the old site. That’s why it’s important to have a WP backup plugin that is specifically designed to clone sites. This allows you to perform a backup of site ”A” in seconds and restore it to site “B” with all the themes, plugin and site settings and configurations intact, once again, saving you hours – even weeks of work, and ensuring that all internal referencing links have been configured correctly.
Don’t Waste Time Fixing Serious Problems … Restore!
Here’s another practical time-saving tip: if your blog did get hacked, or an unauthorized user somehow gets in and does any 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 everything, and restore a previous working version. Your site is now functional again and you can send the damaged files to a WordPress troubleshooter who can then try to figure out how your site got interfered with and how to patch up or identify any vulnerabilities.
Here’s one more final tip:
Keep A Historical Record Of Your Web Site’s Changes.
Imagine a few years from now that your business has grown and transformed into an online success. Wouldn’t it be great to show people how your digital presence began? Or maybe you’ve changed things around on your site so much and would like to return to a simpler place. Perhaps you’ve accidentally deleted a bunch of articles and want to get those back.
If you keep a weekly backup of your site, the chances of losing files are minimal because you don’t need to worry about where things are stored or organized. Just recall when you remember you had published that content, restore the backup (note: the backup can be anywhere, even on a test site) and grab the file you need.

I just have to write and give a HUGE testimonial to Robert for the level of his support. I am one of the purchasers who wanted to copy my blog from one of the less than popular hosts to one of the more popular hosts. To make matter worse, my blog is quite complex. I encountered problem after problem each time I went to make my backup copy. I reported this via the support desk and almost immediately I began receiving support including updates of the software. It took several iterations before the problem was solved but Robert never stopped working to get it right for my site. The level of support has been stellar. So, Robert, I say “Thank You” once again for support that is platinum level.” Eddie Durham, InfiniteCashMachine.com
