Backup Buddy

The Ultimate WordPress Backup Solution!

I was about to write a step-by-step guide for backing up your WordPress site…backing up your database is only part of archiving the entire WordPress site…when the Backup Buddy plugin was introduced last week.  I immediately purchased the developer’s copy of this premium plugin and I have to say, I’m impressed!

Does it backup everything? Yes. It backs up the database, plugins, files, themes, scripts, and everything else in the WordPress database and directories.

Is it easy to use? Yes. A few clicks backups your entire WordPress install – including the widgets, themes, plugins AND SQL database … the entire package! The restore function is quick and easy too..upload a script and your backup files and it reinstalls WordPress, your themes, widgets and plugins … everything. You can migrate to another domain easily, with no fuss. You can even schedule BackupBuddy to do daily, weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly backups … and includes email and FTP options to another server.

BackupBuddy is an all-in-one solution for backups, restoration, and migration.  Click on the graphic to find out more…

The Backup Buddy replaces the DB-Backup on my list of recommend plugins.

What is a plugin? A WordPress plugin is extra software code that you can easily add to your website from within your admin area that give you extra functionality.  Many plugins are free, but sometimes you may want to pay for a premium plugin that is more advanced and complex. With Backup Buddy you are paying for the plugin as well as upgrades and support from iThemes.
