I've been using some free plugins for backup and cloning. Always seems to be some type of problem so I always forget to set up a backup protocol with my wordpress sites.

What are you guys using for backups and cloning?

Would prefer free, but I just went through hell for 2 days and I'm ready to plunk down some cash, would be nice to backup and clone.

Gonna be sellling it as a client service also, so I want to do this right.

Only experience with paid solutions is WPTwin, and Planks Backup Creator, I would have to upgrade both to do automatic backkups.

Oh...also had Ryan Shaws Backup Plus but it was beta and now its 200 bucks!

Let me know what you think

Thanks :)

I've never had a problem with UpdraftPlus which is free and can be found in the WP plugin directory. I use it to backup and restore my sites. They have a premium version, but the free version meets my needs.

Backup Buddy

VaultPress is what I use and this is by far the highly recommended and easiest solution. VaultPress is a solution by Automattic (Parent company by WordPress) and it cost only $5/blog. This solution is perfect for those who need to take backup of 1-2 blog and if you need to take backup of multiple blogs, I would recommend look for other solution which doesn’t cost you so much as recurring monthly fees. Else, for a single blog this is a perfect solution and it let you restore your blog from backup.

WP-DB-Backup is free but its good.

Thanks all for the replies, very helpful.

@pinkbugati, wondered what version you are using?

@ shootermk, I thought there was a free version, again, what version are you using

And are any of you using for clients as a service. I can't think of an easier service to sell than a backup, if they have any clue at all.... try getting a wordpress site back if its been hacked, I've had some that were bastardized beyond repair

Thanks again

Anyone else with backup solution thoughts or stories????

@derek77, thanks for the response, sounds like a good solution for a couple of blogs but not 100's

also, you are correct WP-DB-Backup is a good free way to backup your database, been using that on a few sites.

@pinkbugatti, downloaded the free version and looks cool, checked out the site and although expensive it looks like a great solution for backups and cloning ...far beyond wptwin and some of the others.

If you have an affiliate link pm me with it, if I buy I will use it.

Thanks guys :)
