• Backup Buddy
http://ithemes.com/purchase/backupbuddy/
PLUGINS – BACKUP

• Features:
• Backup
• Back up your entire WordPress installation. Widgets, themes,
plugins, files and SQL database - the entire package! Just like
your laptop or desktop computer, you should be doing regular
backups of your website. With BackupBuddy you can schedule
backups and have them sent off-site to Dropbox, Amazon S3,
Rackspace Cloud, an FTP server, or your email. Or download
them right to your desktop.
PLUGINS - BACKUP

• More Features: Backup
• Back up non-WordPress tables Have tables stored in your
database that aren’t created or stored by WordPress? No
problem. BackupBuddy can back up, restore and move those
too.
• Directory Exclusion Choose which directories you don't want to
include in your backup.
• Offsite Backups Automatically send your backups off-site to
Dropbox, Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud, an FTP server, or your
email. You can send backups to one destination or multiple
destinations for added protection.
• Manage how many backups you want to store You can manage
how many backups to keep in each location, so you don't
accidentally use too much storage space by keeping old
backups.
PLUGINS - BACKUP

• More Features: Restore
• No Need to Install WordPress If you have a full backup,
BackupBuddy will handle reinstalling WordPress for you. Just
enter your new database credentials, and you're back in
business.
• 2-File Restore All you need to restore is our import script and
your backup zip file.
• Restore Just Your Database You can choose to restore just your
database from an earlier database-only backup if a WordPress
configuration change makes your site unstable.
PLUGINS - BACKUP

• More Features: Move
• Magic Migration Move your backed up site to another server
right from your WordPress dashboard (in normal compatible
server environments). Or move to another installation directory
or URL on the same server. It's great for quickly creating a site
copy to test a new plugin or theme.
• Manual Migration The importbuddy.php script can be used to
manually move a site too. The same way you did in previous
versions of BackupBuddy.
• URLs & Paths BackupBuddy handles all the URL and path
changes for you when you move to a new domain or
subdirectory. No need to do a big find and replace.
BackupBuddy also handles migrating serialized (encoded) data.

Magic Migration
New in 3.0, move your
backed up site to another
server right from your
WordPress dashboard.
