- Pruébalo todo en tu sitio de prueba y mantén una copia de seguridad del sitio original

- If something does not work as expected, restore the previous backup
¿No puedo usar mi sistema de desarrollo de WordPress local como xampp / lampp para pruebas y propósitos de copia de seguridad?
You can always test your website locally, but if your local hardware and software environment is not a 100% exact clone of your production server, there is NO guarantee that every aspect of your local copy works on your production website exactly as you expect it.
There are noticeable differences like the PHP version or the server your website is running under. Still, even such non-obvious settings like the amount of RAM or the CPU performance can lead to unexpected results on your production website.
There are dozens of other reasons why a local test website will never mimic the production site server. That’s why a successful local test or backup site is no guarantee that the site will run in the production environment as expected.
That is where WP STAGING shows its strengths… Site cloning, backup, and staging site creation simplified. WordPress cloning on an enterprise-ish level!

FAQ
-
Why should I use a Backup & Staging Website?
-
Plugin updates and theme customizations should be tested on a staging / backup platform before applying them on the production website.
Usually, it’s recommended having the staging / backup platform on an identical server like the production server. You can only catch all possible errors during testing with the same hardware and software environment for your test & backup website.So, before you update a plugin or install a new one, it is highly recommended to check out the modifications on a clone / backup of your production website.
That ensures that any modifications work on your production website without throwing unexpected errors or preventing your site from loading, better known as the «WordPress blank page error.»La mayoría de los usuarios no prueban la actualización de un plugin antes de instalarla en un entorno de producción porque las soluciones de prueba existentes son demasiado complejas y necesitan mucho tiempo para crear una
copia actualizada de tu web.You could be afraid of installing plugins updates because you follow «never touch a running system.» You know that untested updates increase the risk of breaking your site.
That’s is one of the main reasons WordPress installations are often outdated, not updated at all, and insecure because of this non-update behavior.
It’s time to change this, so there is no easier way than using «WP STAGING» for backup, cloning, and migration of your WordPress website.

How to install and set up a staging site / site backup?
-
Install WP STAGING backup via the admin dashboard. Go to ‘Plugins’, click ‘Add New’ and search the plugins for ‘WP STAGING’. Install the plugin with ‘Install Now’.
After installation, go to WP STAGING > Staging Sites and create your first staging / backup site -
Is WP STAGING a backup plugin?
-
Yes, absolutely! WP STAGING started as a staging tool but evolved to a full fledged wordpress backup plugin. Even the free version can be used for backup purposes and comes with automatic backup background processing.
The pro version delivers you few more backup features like uploading a backup to cloud backup file storage providers like google drive, (s)FTP, dropbox, Wasabi, DigitalOcean or Amazon S3 but even the free version allows you to restore the backup files in case something happens to your production site. There are many other backup plugins out there but WP STAGING’s goal is to bring the reliability and performance of business and enterprise level quality assurance to a WordPress backup plugin to a new level.We are offering a basic but still powerful backup feature free of charge for all users. If you want more, WP STAGING PRO will provide a full-fledged premium backup solution with enterprise code quality affordable for everyone.
-
What is the difference between WP STAGING backup and other backup plugins?
-
Note: WP STAGING | PRO provides more advanced backup functionality compared to other backup plugins. The speed and Performance of WP STAGING’s backup feature often exceed even the most prominent and most well-established backup plugins.
We are now adding more advanced backup features to deliver what other existing backup plugins are still missing.
You may have heard about other popular backup plugins like All in one Migration, BackWPUp, BackupWordPress, Simple Backup, WordPress Backup to Dropbox, or similar WordPress backup plugins and now wonder about the difference between WP STAGING and those backup tools.
Other backup plugins usually create a backup of your WordPress filesystem and a database backup that you can use to restore your website if it becomes corrupted or you want to go back in time to a previous state.
The backup files are compressed and can not be executed directly. WP STAGING, on the other hand, creates a full backup of the whole file system and the database in a working state that you can open like your original production website.
Even though WP STAGING’s basic has been started as pure staging plugin it now comes with powerful backup features. So it shifted from being mainly a staging plugin to a staging and backup plugin that can be used to restore a backup and bring back you website to a previous state
If you go with the WP STAGING | PRO version, you will get the same backup functionality of other backup plugins but at a much higher tested level and performance.Note, that some free backup plugins are not able to support custom tables. (For instance, the free version of Updraft plus backup plugin). In that case, your backup plugin is not able to create a backup of your staging site when it is executed on the production site.
The reason is that the tables created by WP STAGING are custom tables beginning with another table prefix.
To bypass this limitation and to be able to create a backup of your staging site, you can use any backup plugin or the WP STAGING backup plugin on the staging site and create the backup from that site. That works well even with every other WordPress backup plugin. -
Why do I need a Backup plugin at all?
-
Consistent website backups are the foundation of a robust disaster recovery strategy. For mission-critical websites,
frequent backups safeguard against data loss from hardware failures, software malfunctions, or even ransomware attacks.
By creating backups of website files, databases, and configurations at regular intervals, You can ensure a swift
restoration process, minimizing downtime and potential revenue loss.
Backups should encompass all essential data, including website code, content management system files,
user data stored in databases, and website configurations. Utilizing a combination of full backups and incremental
backups optimizes storage efficiency while capturing the latest website updates.
Furthermore, employing automated backup solutions streamlines the process, eliminating human error
and ensuring consistent data protection.
By prioritizing website backups, You demonstrate a commitment to data security and business continuity. -
I want to backup my local website and copy it to production and another host
-
If you want to migrate your local website to an already existing production site, you can use our pro version WP STAGING | PRO.
WP STAGING is intended to create a staging site with the latest data from your production site or create a backup of it. -
What are the benefits compared to a migration and backup plugin like Duplicator?
-
Nos gusta el plugin Duplicator. Aunque Duplicator no es tan rápido como WP STAGING para crear una copia de seguridad, es una gran herramienta para migrar de un sitio de desarrollo a uno de producción o de un sitio de producción a uno de desarrollo. En definitiva, es una buena herramienta para crear una copia de seguridad de tu web WordPress.
La desventaja es que, antes de que incluso crees un archivo de exportación o de copia de seguridad con Duplicator, se necesitan muchos ajustes, intervenciones manuales y requisitos antes de que puedas iniciar el proceso de copia de seguridad.
El plugin de copias de seguridad Duplicator también necesita algunas habilidades para poder crear una copia de seguridad y un sitio de desarrollo/pruebas. Por el contrario, WP STAGING no necesita de tu parte nada más que un clic para crear una copia de seguridad o un sitio de pruebas.
Duplicator está mejor colocado para ser una herramienta para la creación por primera vez de tu sitio de producción. Ahí es donde es muy práctico y potente.Si has creado un sitio de desarrollo en local o en un servicio de alojamiento web y necesitas migrar este sitio la primera vez a tu dominio de producción, ¡no hay nada malo en utilizar
el plugin Duplicator! Si necesitas utilizar tanto los últimos datos de producción como las publicaciones, los plugins actualizados, los datos de tema y los estilos en un entorno de prueba o deseas crear una copia de seguridad rápida antes de probar algo, lo que te recomiendo es ¡utilizar WP STAGING en su lugar!If speed, performance, and code quality are a matter for you as well, give WP STAGING a try.
-
I can not log in to the staging / backup site
-
If you are using a security plugin like Wordfence, iThemes Security, All In One WP Security & Firewall, or a plugin that hides the WordPress default login URL, make sure that you have installed the latest version of WP STAGING to access your cloned backup site.
Suppose you can still not log in to your staging / backup site. In that case, you can go to WP STAGING > settings and disable there the WP STAGING extra authentication. Your admin dashboard will still be protected and not accessible to public users. -
Can I activate permalinks on the staging / backup site?
-
Los enlaces permanentes se desactivan en el sitio de prueba / copia de seguridad después de la primera clonación / creación de copia de seguridad
