Creating a backup of your site has never been easier!
Simply install the plugin, click on “Create backup now” – done.
Website migration is just as easy and FREE, with just two clicks!
Wide range of available cloud storage locations: Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon S3, Wasabi, pCloud, SFTP & FTP, and free cloud storage BackupBliss.
You can also schedule backups, e.g. define that a backup should be taken automatically every week (or every day/month).
Use a wide choice of configuration options:
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Click on “Create backup now” on the settings page of the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin.
BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging will by default create a backup that contains everything from your site, except the BackupBliss plugin’s own backups and WordPress installation – if you want to include the WordPress installation as well, tick the checkbox in the section “What will be backed up?”.
• If your backup is located on your site: Go to the BackupBliss Backup Migration Staging plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab where you have your backups list, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.
Migrate (or clone) a WordPress site by creating a full backup on the site that you want to migrate (clone) – site #1.
• To transfer website directly from site #1 to site #2: Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen on site #1, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab where you have the backups list, click on the Copy Link button in the Actions column.
BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging allows you to download backups, migrate backups, or delete backups directly from the plugin screen Manage & Restore Backup(s). By default, the migrator plugin will store backups locally on the server to /wordpress/wp-content/backup-migration but you can change the backup location to anywhere you please.
Enabling automatic backups is done on the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin’s home screen, just next to the “Create backup now!” button. Auto backup can run on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis. You can set the exact time (and day) and how many automatic backups you would like to keep in the same BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin section.
Backup file size depends on the criteria you select in the “What will be backed up?” section of the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin. There you can see file/folder size calculations as you save your settings. Usually, WordPress’ Uploads folder is the heaviest, while Databases are the lightest.
