    Help Backup of Wordpress website help

    Alreet,

    Decided I need to put some time into improving my site / refresh etc, initially was setup just as a online presence about a year ago
    and never changed it


    before i start fooking about i need to do a backup and probably save a copy on the cloud as well as locally

    Site is on wordpress altered theme hosted by hostgator so any plugins or way i can do this thats pretty easy as coding etc not really my bag

    TIA PEEPS

    backupbuddy is really good, wpmudev have one called snapshot, (look at my post in vip). both should do a fine job for what you are after, I use backupbuddy a lot, purchased it a while ago and has never let me down. if you need either send me a pm.

    that backupbuddy looks pretty good, much involved in setting up ?

    I usually just download the contents from the fileserver and export the database with phpMyAdmin.

    backup buddy is really easy to use, install the plugin, select backup, download the backup and upload it to the new location, there is a file called importbuddy.php you need to upload to the new location as well.

    go to new location run importbuddy.php, it will ask you new domain details and database details and takes care of everything else.

    couldnt be any easier.
