Backup Creator – WordPress Backup Plugin

One of the downsides of doing business in the Digital Age is that we are constantly under the potential threat of having our websites and social media accounts hacked into and our business and personal data destroyed.

If you own anything where data can be viewed online like a blog or company website, then you need to prioritize digital security and the importance of creating a web security plan.

As well as having an internet security plan for your business, you will also want to prevent losing important data from internal and external issues that can set your business back. Having a way to fully restore your site, files or data in extreme situations is something that many people only appreciate once it’s too late.

Then again, you may just want to save time. If you need to copy data from loads of websites or blogs, having a simple way of copying site information from one website to another would be very convenient.

As every experienced webmaster knows, “it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Backing up your site files, therefore, is imperative. The truth, however, is that left to their own devices, very few site owners do it, or don’t do it as often as it should be done.

Let’s face it … getting your site hacked, losing data, and installing malware that disrupt your site is all part of the reality of running an online business presence. If disaster ever strikes, then you will need an easy and quick way to restore lost information, restore your site to an earlier version, or even complete reinstall your site and data.

Fortunately, if your website or blog is powered by WordPress, then you can easily create backups of your WP database and web site files, clone your website to another location and restore your old site and data.

Useful Tips

Here are some great uses for this plugin:

Real-Time Documentation Of All Your Website Processes.

Instead of spending a lot of time documenting all the steps you would normally have to document when setting up a new site, you can simply set up your site exactly how you want it, back it up|make an identical copy of site and then restore it somewhere else and now you’ve got an exact, “documented” copy of your site setup.

For example, let’s say that you want to set up various sites containing identical plugins and settings in different niche markets. This could be for a nationwide retailer, or an insurance agency with offices in different locations, where each branch will run their own separate website. Think of all the time you’ve spent tweaking and fine-tuning your discussion settings, permalinks, configuring SEO plugins and navigation menus, creating the main content sections, customizing the theme, etc. You can now instantly install a fully-functioning, completely configured site every single time with only a few mouse clicks.

Restore A Backup On Another Domain With Correct Internal Links.

Simply downloading WP files and restoring WP files won’t clone your blogs successfully. You also need to copy the WP database and ensure that the data references the new domain. Otherwise, your database data will be restored to another site, but still be pointing back to the old location. That’s why you need to have a backup plugin that was specifically developed to clone sites. This allows you to perform a backup of site “A” and restore it to site ”B” in minutes with all the themes, 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 useful time-saving tip: if your site ever gets 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 fix things, just make a backup of your broken site, delete your old site, then restore a previous working version. Your site will be immediately returned to normal and you can then send the damaged site’s backup files to a WP troubleshooter 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 tip:

Keep A Record Of Your Website.

Imagine that a few 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 began? 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 videos and want to get these back.

If you keep a weekly backup of your site, your chances of losing data are almost negligible because you no longer have to worry about where everything is stored or organized. Just go back to the time when you remember you had published that content, restore the backup (note: the backup can be located anywhere, even on a test site) and retrieve the file you need.
