<p>Export 2 Multisite exports your standalone database SQL for import into a WP multisite installation. It handles duplicate users (based on email) and will copy over all site settings including Widgets and Menus. You still need to copy the files for your themes, plugins and uploads.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>This plugin has been minimally tested, but has been used to successfully migrate a handful of standalone sites to a multisite installation.</strong></li>
<li><strong>There is a good possibility it won’t work for sites that make use of a multitude of plugins – especially plugins that have their own database tables.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Installation</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Create a new site on the Multisite.</li>
<li>Copy the plugins and themes from this standalone site to the Multisite.</li>
<li>Copy the files from wp-content/uploads/ on this site to wp-content/uploads/sites// on the multisite.</li>
<li>Backup the database on the Multisite.</li>
<li>Provide the Site ID of the Multisite. This can be found by hovering the mouse over the new site on Network Admin->Sites.</li>
<li>Provide the New URL. Example: //mysite.my-wp-multisite.com</li>
<li>Provide the New file path (The file path of the Multisite installation).</li>
<li>Export the database dump.</li>
<li>Import the SQL into your Multisite installation.</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><strong>Important:</strong> The exported SQL will DROP the tables that were created for the Site ID you provided. So only perform this migration on new empty Sites.</li>
<li>Note that the you may need to review the exported SQL to ensure that plugin database tables have been exported correctly.</li>
<li>The site admin (username and password) is the user you created while creating the new Site, NOT the site admin of this standalone site.</li>
<li>The guts of this export plugin were inspired by <a href="https://iandunn.name/comprehensive-wordpress-multisite-migrations/" rel="nofollow ugc">this blog post</a></li>
<li>The code for this plugin has been modified from the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db" rel="ugc">WP Migrate DB</a> plugin, but should not conflict with it in any way.</li>
</ul>

<p>Backup your database instantly, send the backup via email, or schedule backups to run automatically.</p>
<p>Database Backup for WordPress allows you to quickly back up your core WordPress database tables, and either download the backup as a gzipped file, or send it via email to an address you choose.</p>
<p>By default, the plugin will always back up all the core WordPress database tables. However, you may also selectively back up any custom tables that might be created by other plugins</p>
<p>Additional options include the ability to exclude spam comments from the comments table, or post revisions from the posts table, saving you space and bandwidth.</p>
<p>You can also enable scheduled backups to run automatically at set intervals, and configure the email address to send the scheduled backups to.</p>
<h4>Backup Before You Mess Up</h4>
<p>Backups are the one thing you don’t think of until you need them. You might have the best web host, the most secure server, and a tried and tested process for running plugin, theme, or core updates. But all it takes is one little thing to go wrong, and you lose your entire website.</p>
<p>You need a reliable and automated solution which backs up your WordPress data and sends it to an off-site location. Database Backup for WordPress is that solution.</p>
<h4>Why You Should Back Up Your Website</h4>
<p>As much planning as you do, any CMS like WordPress that stores its data in a database is vulnerable. Hardware, software, and security hiccups are rare, but they do happen. Even the best enterprise systems in the world have multiple levels of backup in place.</p>
<p>Think about the data you store in your WordPress site. Your blog posts since the day you launched the site. Your customers, products, and order history if you run an ecommerce site. Backups are like implementing an insurance policy for your data. With backups, you have a reliable way of restoring that data if anything goes wrong.</p>
<p>Simple, automated backups save you time and give you peace of mind that you are prepared for the worst case scenario, even if you never need it. Better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and suddenly need it.</p>
<h4>Scheduled Backups</h4>
<p>Depending on your needs, you might want to back up your database every few minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. You’ll want to automate this process, or it becomes another possible point of failure.</p>
<p>Scheduled backups give you peace of mind that your data is being backed up as much or as little as you need, without your intervention. By emailing the backups to an email address you choose, you can verify that the backup has run, and store it in a safe location.</p>

Database Backup for WordPress

Very good plugin thanks, it does what it says.

Works great

This is an excellent database plugin. I have daily host-level backups, and once a month I take a full cPanel backup, but as a belt and braces approach I now have daily database backups being sent to an email address, and filtered to a backup folder. Hope I never need them, but if I do I will be relieved to see these archived.

Install, activate, setup and forget ... until needed

Database Backup for WordPress is your one-stop database backup solution for WordPress.
