One of the unfortunate consequences of doing business in the Internet Age is that we are constantly under the potential threat of online theft, having our websites and social media accounts hacked into and our business and personal data stolen or manipulated.
If you own any business assets like a website or blog, then you need to carefully consider online security and the urgency of creating an internet security plan.
As well as having an internet security and website recovery plan for your business, you will also want to prevent loss of data from internal and external issues that can set your business back. Having a way to restore your site, files or data in extreme situations is something that can only be appreciated once tragedy has struck.
You may also just want to save time. If your business requires cloning multiple websites or blogs, having a time-saving way of copying website data from one website to another would be quite convenient.
As any experienced website owner eventually learns, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your WP website, therefore, is key. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, website owners rarely do it, or don’t do it as often as it should be done.
Let’s face it … getting hacked, losing data, and making errors that disrupt your site is all part of owning a digital business presence. If this ever happens to you, then you will need a quick and easy way to recover lost content, get back an earlier version of your site, or even complete reinstall your site and previous web content.
Fortunately, if you use WordPress, then you can easily create backups of your WordPress database and web site files, clone your website to another location and restore your old site and data.

Plugin Tips
Here are some great uses for this tool:
Real-Time Documentation Of Site Processes.
Instead of spending loads of time documenting all the processes necessary to make a website or blog work “just right”, or creating a blog setup manual, you can simply set up your website or blog exactly how you want it, back it up|make an exact duplicate of site and then restore it to a new 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 multiple websites containing identical settings and configurations in different niches. This could be for a national food service outlet, or a real estate agency with branches in various locations, where each branch will look after their own separate website. Think of all the time you’ve spent tweaking and finetuning your site so that it looks just right and works exactly the way you want it to. You can now save loads of time and install a fully-functioning, perfectly configured blog every single time with just a few mouse clicks.
Clone A Site With Correct Referencing URLs.
Simply downloading WP files and uploading file backups won’t duplicate your blogs successfully. You also need to copy the WP database and ensure that your site URLs reference the new domain. Otherwise, your WordPress database data will be restored to another domain, but still be referencing the old location. That’s why it’s important to use a backup plugin that has been specifically designed for cloning. This lets you back up site ”A” in seconds and restore it to site “B” with all your themes, plugin and site settings and configurations included, 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 … Just Restore!
Here’s another great time-saving tip: if your site ever gets 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 broken site, delete your old site, and restore a previous working copy. Your site will be up and running again and you can then send the damaged site’s files to a WP support expert who can then try to figure out how your site got broken into and how to patch up or report any vulnerabilities.
Here’s one more final tip:
Keep A Historical Record Of Your Website.
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 things so complex and would like to return 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 important data are extremely low because you no longer need to worry about where you have stored or organized things. Just go back to the time you remember you had that file, restore your backup (note: it can be retrieved from 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
