Tutorial on how to use the ezMigrate plugin: <a href="http://techblog.triptic.nl/moving-wordpress-using-the-ezmigrate-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">Moving wordpress using the ezmigrate plugin</a>
This plugin makes it easy to use and migrate your blog across different locations by detecting the current location and 
replacing all absolute paths on the fly. 
While there are ways to move your blog around by replacing the locations within the database manually or through scripts, 
they are very error prone and not very easy to do. 
Once enabled, this plugin doesn’t require you to do anything other than move your code and database to a new location 
when you want to. You can even access your blog through multiple urls at the same time when you need to.
This plugin is useful when:
<ul>
<li>You want to make your blog available through different urls</li>
<li>You want to move your blog around</li>
<li>You’re staging the development of a blog with development, test and production environments which all have their own urls.</li>
<li>You’re using a Version Control System on a development server and developers have their own checkouts and urls to access a blog using a single database.</li>
</ul>
The ezMigrate plugin does the following things:
<ul>
<li>It determines the root url of the blog.</li>
<li>It replaces the options “siteurl”, “home”, “upload_path” and “fileupload_url” to the correct values, independent of their values stored inside the database.</li>
<li>When not already set in wp-config.php it sets the constants WP_CONTENT_URL, COOKIEPATH and SITECOOKIEPATH to the correct values.</li>
<li>When a post is saved into the database it replaces all root urls in href and src attributes with a placeholder. (This is also done for all posts when the plugin is activated).</li>
<li>When a post is retrieved from the database it replaces all placeholders with the current calculated root url. (This is also done for all posts when the plugin is deactivated).</li>
</ul>
This way you don’t need to do anything when you migrate your blog and you can even make your blog accessible through multiple urls. It made life for me and the other developers at triptic a lot easier when we need to develop blogs using wordpress.
What this plugin doesn’t do (but might do in the future):
<ul>
<li>Put a in the header of your template. You can easily do this yourself by placing <base href=”<?php echo ezMigrate_getFullUrl();?>/” /> right after the <head> tag in the header.php file of your theme.</li>
<li>Replace urls outside of the four mentioned options or outside of href and src attributes in posts.</li>
<li>Make changes that might be necessary in the .htaccess file.</li>
</ul>
Known plugins that won’t work on multiple locations without modification:
<ul>
<li>cforms II, http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin 
won’t work because of absolute paths in abspath.php and js/cforms.js</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://wptimecapsule.com/" title="Incremental Backup for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Time Capsule</a> was created to ensure peace of mind with WP updates and put the fun back into WordPress. It uses the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and backs up just the changed files and db entries to your account.
You need to sign up for an account on our website https://service.wptimecapsule.com to get a 30 days full featured trial.
 
With WP Time Capsule you can
Backup in real-time 
You can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily. 
Staging 
With a single click staging it’s a breeze to test any change you are planning to do on your site. Test your updates on staging with a single click
Auto backup and update 
We automatically backup before each update, if an update causes any undesired change. You are a click away from restoring.
Encrypted DB backups & GDPR Compatible 
You can encrypt your DB backups to add an extra layer of security and makes your backup GDPR compatible. 
Clone/Migrate 
You can now use the WPTC backup to clone or migrate your site to a new location at ease.
How is WP Time Capsule different than other backup plugins? 
 
WPTC is unique in 4 ways – 
1. It backs up and restores only the changed files & DB and not the entire site every time. 
2. The files & DB are stored in your cloud storage app – Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze, Dropbox or Google Drive. 
3. We have used the cloud apps’ native file versioning system to detect changes and maintain file versions. So backups and restores are as reliable as they get. 
4. Most importantly, you can backup your site in real-time which means you will now be able to revert your site to how it was just an hour ago. Also, you can change the backup interval to every 6 hours or 12 hours or daily. 
How does it work? 
 
1. Sign up an account on our website https://wptimecapsule.com and you will get a 30 days full featured trial. 
2. Install the plugin and login with your wptimecapsule.com account. 
3. Next, connect the cloud app where you want to store the backup files. You can use Amazon S3, Wasabi, Dropbox or Google Drive. 
4. Once you connect the cloud app, we will automatically begin backing up your complete website to your cloud app account.
After the first full backup is taken, you can schedule a time for WPTC to backup your websites. We will take care of your backups from here on. 
This being done you will officially be disaster-ready. 🙂
Backup: Looks for files & DB changes since the last backup and uploads only the changes. The data is then stored securely in your cloud app account. 
 
Restore: Checks revision history and displays the same. You can restore the site to any point in time or restore specific files & DB.
How is it better? 
BACKUP METHOD 
Traditionally – Backups are compressed and zipped. The Bad: Heavy server resource consumption. 
WPTC – No zipping. Changed files are directly dropped into your cloud account. The Good: Uses considerably less server resources
BACKUP FILE 
Traditionally – Multiple zip files are created every time you backup. The Bad: Precious storage space is wasted. 
WPTC – Backs up incrementally. No multiple copies of files. The Good: Uses far less disk space
RESTORE 
Traditionally – Unzip backup and restore the whole site. The Bad: Consumes time and server resource. 
WPTC – Restores only selected files. The Good: Faster restore and you can restore even if you don’t have access to your site or plugin.
