Living and doing business in the Digital Age has many benefits. However, we also live in a world where we are continuously under the potential threat of digital theft, having our websites and social media accounts being infected by malicious viruses and our business and personal data stolen or manipulated.
If you manage anything where information can be viewed online like a blog or company website, then you need to carefully consider website security and the urgency of creating an digital business security and data recovery plan.
In addition to implementing an internet security and site recovery plan for your business, you will also want to prevent losing important data from errors that can set your business back. Having a way to restore your site, files or data in extreme cases is something that many people only appreciate after it’s too late.
You may also just want to save time. If parts of your business involve working with many websites or blogs, having a smart way of copying site information from one site to another can be quite convenient.
As the saying goes, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your website’s files, therefore, is something that everybody should do. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, very few people ever do it, or don’t do it as often as this should be done.
Let’s face it … getting hacked, losing data, and installing programs that ruin your site is all part of managing an online presence. If disaster ever strikes, then you will need a quick and easy way to recover lost files, get back an earlier version of your site, or complete reinstall your site and data.
Fortunately, if your website or blog is powered by WordPress, then you can easily create backups of your WordPress database and site files, copy your website to another location and restore your old site and information.

Testimonials
Here are just a few of the testimonials that plugin users have submitted for the Backup Creator plugin:
”I installed Backup Creator on my site several weeks ago. Yesterday the company whose theme I use sent me an upgrade. I upgraded and to my surprise, all of my formatting was lost. Graphics, colors, column settings, everything. It took me the better part of two weeks to create all of this. Luckily, I used Backup Creator before I installed the upgrade. I followed the directions and in less than 5 minutes my site was recovered and back on line! Backup Creator is a life saver.” Warren Hayford, RatioWriter.com

Useful Tips
Here are some great uses for this plugin:
Document Your Website Processes Live.
Instead of spending so much time documenting all the steps you would normally have to go through in order to set up new sites, you can just set up your website or blog exactly how you want it, make a backup copy|reproduce the site and then restore it somewhere else and now you’ve got an exact, “documented” copy of your blog setup.
For example, let’s say that you want to set up several blogs containing identical plugins, settings, and configurations in different niche markets. This could be for a national company, or a travel agency with offices in various locations, where each store will manage the content of their own separate website. Think of all the time spent tweaking and fine-tuning your site so that it looks just right and works exactly the way you want it to. Now you can save loads of time and install a fully-functioning, perfectly configured site every time with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Copy A Website With Correct Referencing URLs.
Simply downloading WordPress files and uploading WP files won’t duplicate your websites or blogs successfully. You also have to copy the WordPress database and make sure that it references the new domain. Otherwise, your database data will be restored to another site, but still be referencing the old location. That’s why you need to have a backup plugin that was specifically created to clone sites. This allows you to perform a backup of site “A” and restore it to site ”B” in minutes with all your themes, plugins, settings and configurations intact, and everything will point correctly to the new site (i.e. site “B”), instead of referencing the old one (site “A”).
Don’t Waste Time Fixing Serious Problems … Restore!
Here’s another great time-saving tip: if your website 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 fix things, just make a backup of your site, delete your old site, and restore a previous working copy. Your site is now up and running again and you can send the damaged site’s files to an troubleshooting 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 more 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 digital presence got started? Or maybe you’ve changed things around on your site so much and would like to bring things back to a place of simplicity. Perhaps you’ve accidentally deleted a bunch of articles or videos and want to get these back.
If you keep a weekly backup of your site, the chances of losing files are almost negligible because you no longer have to worry about where things are stored or organized. Just recall when you remember you had published that file, restore the backup (note: the backup can be located anywhere, even on a test site) and grab the data 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.
