Better WordPress Backups
Published: Thu, 03/21/13
I'm not going to tell you how important backing up
your WordPress site is. I've done that enough in the
past. In EVERY WordPress training I do, I implore
my students and clients to make sure they a) backup
their WP sites and b) test their backups!
So you know that I think having good backups is
critical.
You also know I'm a big fan of WP Twin. I've used
several other WP backup programs and they're all great.
Just not perfect.
This one I'm about to tell you about is close to perfect.
It's called Replikator Pro and it's put out by a personal
friend of mine, Lisa Gergets. She's the real deal; she
practices what she preaches and a while back, one of
her biggest money-making sites was hacked. Rather
than wallow in despair, she decided to make sure that
she'd never be without her bread-and-butter again.
Now, I will tell you that there are things you can do to
make your WordPress site pretty hack-proof. But you
can never be 100% hacker-proof. Having a backup is
critical to getting your site(s) back online after something
like a security breach (or just a corrupt database) brings
everything down.
So Lisa got together with her team and created a
Why is it better than the competition?
First off, you don't need to install WordPress. That's
always been a big sticking point for me when using
other WordPress backup tools. With Replikator Pro,
there is no need to do that, saving you a few precious
minutes when your site goes down.
You can also set this program up to make automatic
backups (and backups to cloud services like Dropbox
and Amazon S3 are coming in less than a month--free
upgrade).
You can use this on unlimited domains, all for a very low
price.
It's super-simple to make clones.
It's easy to transfer a site that you flip using this tool.
You can even use Replikator Pro on client sites.
Free upgrades for life (nobody else does that).
All this and more.
Check it out. I know you're going to love it.
PS---this goes up for sale tomorrow morning at 11am
Eastern time.
