Duplicator – Backups & Migration Plugin – Cloud Backups, Scheduled Backups, & More

You have to do some leg work with this plugin to create a database depending on what hosting you use, but the amount of time saved and the integrity of your transferred data is well taken care of with this plugin.

Works like a charm

This made moving my wordpress site to a new server SO EASY AND PAINLESS (only needed the free version too). A+

Works so great, A+

Very useful for moving website from localhost to live server. Thank you!

Excellent plugin

importing is only available ip PRO version.

pathetic plugin

Best backup and migration plugin


The free version worked without a hitch. [BIG problems getting BlueHost issues squared away. Their support team is clueless. None of it was an issue with Duplicator!]


Free Version Worked Without A Hitch

Excellent free tool for moving your site in a self contained single file. Thx!


I've been using Duplicator for a few years now and it has saved me so much time doing from manual migrations. There are some substantial limitations for larger websites in the free version, but for most website the free version is more than sufficient. 


Easy-to-use and all-in-one solution for migration

just great


It does not update to a new version, when installing on a new website you enter a password to install and then there is only an advertisement for the PRO version. Hell, yesterday everything worked as it should and today it's a total flop and manual work. Back to the trees.


New version total fail

Works perfectly every time


Duplicator is a solid plugin for WordPress migration and backup. Trusted over years. Thank you guys.


Solid plugin


Great plugin! Using the free version, it requires following some instructions but it works perfectly as instructed.



Thanks


Awesome


Thank you for creating this wonderful plugin and making it available for free 🫡


Works perfect all the time!


Been using this plugin for a few years now, my goto plugin for migrations


Works great


I've been using this plugin for years and it's really convenient to backup or migrate a website. Thanks to the developer!


Very useful

Easy!


I have moved hundreds of sites with this plugin, it always works great.


Great plugin


It's my first choice for deploying websites to production since I discovered it.


Impresive option to deploy projects

Geat!


I have been using Duplicator for my websites' backups for a few years already and never had any problems with it. It works great for site migrations too. Thank you for such a great plugin!


The best plugin for backups, also works great for migrations

The best WordPress backup and migration plugin. Quickly and easily backup ,migrate, copy, move, or clone your site from one location to another.

<p><strong>A backup is only as good as its restore.</strong> SafeSnap verifies the restore path on every snapshot — not just the upload.</p>
<p>Most backup plugins tell you “backup succeeded” the moment the .zip lands on Drive. That’s not a backup. That’s a hopeful upload. SafeSnap re-extracts every snapshot into a sandbox container before we mark it green — so the day you actually need to restore, the archive opens.</p>
<p>Filter-only architecture: SafeSnap doesn’t enqueue front-end scripts, doesn’t touch your DOM, doesn’t add admin widgets you can’t dismiss. One job, done quietly.</p>
<h3>Their complaint <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Our answer</h3>
<p>(12 patterns we mined from competitor 1-star reviews — May 2026)</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>“Failing restore every time for every hosting and every site I have.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> SafeSnap verifies the restore path on every snapshot. We re-extract into a sandbox before we tell you the backup succeeded.</li>
<li><strong>“Free version doesn’t create a useable backup.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Our free tier creates a fully restorable backup. Daily, complete, off-site. Forever.</li>
<li><strong>“Didn’t work when needed.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> The only moment a backup plugin matters is the moment it has to restore. The whole product is built around that moment.</li>
<li><strong>“Doesn’t do what it’s supposed to.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Filter-only, single-purpose, no upsell maze — backups that just back up.</li>
<li><strong>“All source and DB contents are pushed to author’s remote.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Your backup goes to YOUR storage. Direct to Drive / S3 / Backblaze / R2. No relay through our servers, no telemetry, no surprises.</li>
<li><strong>“Pointless trying to use Google Drive to authenticate.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> One-click cloud auth for Drive, Dropbox, S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2 — no OAuth merry-go-round, no expired-token loop.</li>
<li><strong>“Not free.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Daily backups, restore, off-site storage, host-to-host migration — free, forever. The free version isn’t a 30-day trial in disguise.</li>
<li><strong>“Stop admin bloat.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Zero ads in wp-admin. Zero upgrade nags. Zero dashboard widgets you can’t dismiss. Your wp-admin is your workspace, not our billboard.</li>
<li><strong>“Cannot migrate to new hosting.”</strong> (because migration is paywalled in competitors) <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Host-to-host migration is in the FREE tier. Bluehost <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Kinsta <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Hetzner <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> anywhere. Always was, always will be.</li>
<li><strong>“Not great for large sites.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Streaming chunked uploads + incremental snapshots. Works on 100MB blogs and 50GB WooCommerce shops alike.</li>
<li><strong>“Can NOT recommend the PREMIUM version.”</strong> (founder-quality complaint) <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Tim reads every Pro support email. Founder, not a ticket queue. Sub-24h response, no log-file ping-pong.</li>
<li><strong>“PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT — End of Central Dir Record signature not found.”</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> That error is a backup that wasn’t a backup. SafeSnap verifies archive integrity before we tell you the snapshot succeeded — so this error never reaches restore day.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Free, forever — what’s in the box</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatic daily backups</strong> — database + files, together, every 24 hours.</li>
<li><strong>One-click restore</strong> — verified restore path on every snapshot.</li>
<li><strong>Off-site storage</strong> — Google Drive, Dropbox, S3, Backblaze B2, Cloudflare R2. Direct to your bucket.</li>
<li><strong>Host-to-host migration</strong> — move between Bluehost, Kinsta, WP Engine, Hetzner, anywhere. No paywall.</li>
<li><strong>Incremental snapshots</strong> — only changed files re-uploaded. Works on 50GB shops.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce-aware</strong> — order tables, product meta, customer data — all captured, all restorable.</li>
<li><strong>7-day retention</strong> in free tier (configurable).</li>
<li><strong>Filter-only architecture</strong> — can’t crash your front-end, doesn’t enqueue scripts.</li>
<li><strong>No account required</strong> — install the plugin, use the plugin. We never ask for your email.</li>
