The Digital Age has revolutionized how we live and do business. However, it has also placed us in a situation where we are continuously under the potential threat of having our websites and social media accounts being infected by malicious viruses and our business and personal data destroyed.
If you own any business assets like a business blog or website, then you need to always keep in mind digital security and the urgency of developing a site security plan.
In addition to creating an internet security and website recovery plan for your business, you will also want to protect your files from internal and external issues that can result in losing valuable data and cause significant damage or disruption to your business. Having a way to completely restore your site, files or data in extreme cases is something that can only be appreciated after tragedy has struck.
Then again, you may also want to save time. If aspects of your business require setting up loads of websites or blogs, having a time-saving way to copy web site information from one site to another would be very convenient.
As the saying goes, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your WordPress blog, therefore, is absolutely vital. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, people almost never do it, or don’t do it as often as these things should be done.
Let’s face it … getting hacked, losing data, and accidentally changing things that can wreck your site is all part of the reality of doing business online. If something this tragic ever happens to you, then you will need an easy and quick way to recover lost files, get back an earlier version of your site, or complete reinstall your site and information.
Fortunately, if you own a WordPress-powered site, then there’s an easy tool that lets you create backups of your WordPress database and website files, copy your website to another location and restore previous backups of your site.

Testimonials
Below are a few of the testimonials and feedback that plugin users have written about the Backup Creator plugin:
“This tool is wickedly simple for us end users … There’s no excuse for any Internet Marketer / Blogger not owning this.”, Bolaji Oyejide, WhoIsBolaji.com

”I am using Hostgator, have backed up a number of wp sites at least three times with no problems. It’s amazing how fast this works. Twice when I backed up a pretty big site, the time on the back up file appearing in my email in box was within a minute to 2 minutes of when it was posted as backed up on my computer. Your manual was so complete and easy to follow I was able to figure it out and do the back up the first time with no problems at all. Often I find techies are not all that good with explaining the how to of their tools. Not you guys. It was so clear and easy to use, it was done before I knew it.” Pat Wiklund, TakeChargeAndMoveOn.com

Plugin Tips
Here are some great uses for this plugin:
Instant Documentation Of All Your Website Processes.
Instead of spending so much time documenting all the processes needed to make your website or blog work “just right”, or writing out a website setup manual, you can just set up your website or blog exactly how you want it, back it up|make an identical copy of site and then restore it on another location and now you’ve got an exact, “documented” copy of your site setup.
For example, let’s say that you want to set up several websites including identical settings and configurations in other niche areas. This could be for a nationwide retailer, 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, widgets and sidebars, configuring SEO plugins and navigation menus, creating site categories, customizing the theme, etc. Now you can instantly install a fully-functioning, perfectly configured site every time with only a few mouse clicks.
Restore A Backup On A Different Blog With Correct Internal Reference Links.
Simply backing up WP files and uploading file backups won’t duplicate your websites or blogs successfully. You also have to copy the WP database and make sure that it references the new domain. Otherwise, your data will be restored to another website, but still be pointing back to the old domain. This is why it’s important to have a WordPress backup plugin that was specifically created to clone sites. This allows you to back up site “A” and restore it to site ”B” in minutes with all your theme customizations, plugins, settings and configurations intact, and everything will point correctly to the new site (i.e. site “B”), instead of the old one (site “A”).
Don’t Fix Serious Problems … Restore!
Here’s another great time-saving tip: if your site did get hacked, or an unauthorized user somehow gets in and causes damage to your site, don’t spend days or weeks trying to repair the problem, just make a backup of your site, delete your old site, and restore a previous working copy. Your site will be up and running again and you can send the damaged files to a WordPress troubleshooting expert who can then try to understand how your site got broken into and how to repair or identify any vulnerabilities.
Here’s one more final tip:
Document Your Site’s Progress Over Time.
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 it all got started? Or maybe you’ve made your site so complex and would like to return to a place of simplicity. Perhaps you’ve accidentally deleted a bunch of videos and want to get those back.
If you keep a weekly backup of your site, your chances of losing files are minimal because you don’t need to be concerned about where things are stored or organized. Just go back to the time you remember you had that file, restore the backup (note: it 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.
