Backup Migration

FAQ

¿Cómo creo mi primera copia de seguridad?

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?”.

You can download or migrate your backup (use the plugin as a WordPress duplicator) immediately after the backup has been created.

¿Cómo restauro una copia de seguridad?

• 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.

• If your backup is located on another site: 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. Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen on site #2, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, click on “Super-quick migration”, paste the copied link, and hit “Restore now!” button. This process will first import the backup and then restore it, i.e. Backup Migrate also serves as backup importer.

• If your backup is located on another device: Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, and click on the “Upload backup files” button. After the upload, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.

• If your backup is located on Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Wasabi, BackupBliss Storage, FTP or SFTP: Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen, then to the plugin section “Where shall the backup(s) be stored?”, turn ON the respective external storage option, and connect to your account. After that, the plugin will sync the available backup files in the plugin section “Manage & Restore Backups” from where you will be able to run Restore.

¿Cómo migro o clono mi sitio?

Migra (o clona) un sitio de WordPress creando una copia de seguridad completa en el sitio que quieras migrar (clonar) – sitio #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. Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen on site #2, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, click on “Super-quick migration”, paste the copied link, and hit the “Restore now!” button. Make sure that the backup file on site #1 is accessible by setting “Accessible via direct link?” to “Yes” in the plugin section “Where shall the backup(s) be stored?”

• To migrate the website indirectly: Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen, then to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) tab, and click on the “Upload backup files” button. After the upload, click on the Restore button next to the backup you would like to restore.

• To migrate the website with Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Wasabi, BackupBliss Storage, FTP or SFTP: Go to the BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging plugin screen, then to the plugin section “Where shall the backup(s) be stored?”, turn ON the respective external storage option, and connect to your account. After that, the plugin will sync the available backup files in the plugin section “Manage & Restore Backups” from where you will be able to run Restore.

¿Dónde puedo encontrar mis copias de seguridad?

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. If you have backups stored on the cloud – OneDrive, Dropbox, Google Drive, BackupBliss Storage, Amazon S3, Wasabi, FTP or SFTP, you will need to connect the plugin with the respective storage account, so that the plugin can synchronize the data.

¿Cómo realizar copias de seguridad automáticas?

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. We recommend that you optimize the number of backups that will be kept according to available space. With the premium version, you can also set partial automatic backups before theme, plugin, or WordPress core updates.

¿Cuán grandes son los archivos de copia de seguridad?

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. If you are looking to save up space, you might want to deselect Plugins and WordPress installation folders, as you can usually download those anytime from WP sources.

¿Es gratis la creación de copias de seguridad y migración del sitio?

Yes. You can create full site backups, and automatic backups, and migrate your site (duplicate site) free of charge. BackupBliss – Backup Migration Staging Pro provides more sophisticated filters and selections of files that will be included/excluded from backups (affecting backup size), faster backup creation times, number of external backup storage locations, backup encryption, backup file compression methods, advanced backup triggers, additional backup notifications by email, priority support, and more.

How to create staging sites?

1. To create a staging site on your server, navigate to the plugin section “Create a staging site”, select “Your server & domain”, define a custom path if you wish, and click on the button “Create staging site!”.

How to upload my backup file?

Uploading a backup can be simply done by navigating to the Manage & Restore Backup(s) section of the BM plugin (tab on the right side). There you have the “Upload backup file” button, after clicking on it, you need to select a proper backup that is made by this plugin only.
