in this video I think we shown you how
you can do free really cool essential
things with your WordPress website first
thing we're going to be doing is making
a backup of our WordPress website very
important thing to do just in case
something goes wrong the second thing
I'm gonna be showing you is how to
restore that backup in case something
goes wrong you can quickly get your
website back up and running then the
third thing we're going to be doing is
moving a WordPress website
going to show you how you can do it
really easily and the great thing is
we're gonna be doing all of these things
with just one plug-in and that plug-in
is free so let's go
[Music]
this is the site I'm going to be backing
up and also migrating in this video it's
best roof box comm it's one of my Amazon
affiliate websites that I created a few
months ago now I've got a full playlist
that documents exactly what I've been
doing with this site if you're
interested
including how I made the site all the
work I've been doing on the site and
more importantly how much money the
website makes how much traffic it gets
and all that kind of stuff I'll put a
link up in a card now to the playlist
that contains all of those videos you'll
also find a link to that playlist in the
description below this video so anyway I
don't currently have a backup solution
in place for this site so I thought it
was about time that I did it's really
important that you do backup your
websites because bad things can happen
to WordPress websites like they can be
hacked or you can update your theme or
some plugins and that can cause a
problem and bring your site down and
it's in those moments that you're gonna
need your backup so that you can easily
restore and get back up a running really
quickly so we're gonna be using a free
plug-in today so it's going to stall it
I'm gonna go into the dashboard I'm
already logged into the site I'm going
to go to plugins and then add new
up in the search box on the type in WP
vivid and it's the only one that comes
up is this one here transfer and back up
WordPress site WP vivid backup plugin
gonna click install now it's quite a new
plugin as now many installations just
yet but it is really good
and then let's activate that's all done
so we'll start with the back up you've
got a number of options when it comes to
backing up your data you can save
backups locally that means they're
generated on the site and then you can
download them to your computer so we'll
do that first then afterwards I'll show
you how you can connect to some of these
remote storage solutions like Dropbox or
Google Drive in order to save your stuff
in the cloud so it's nice and safe so
we've got a couple of options over here
the first one is what you want to backup
now generally you're going to want to
backup everything that they space and
the files but if you just want to do the
files or just a space you can choose it
here there is a schedule here as well so
you can actually schedule a regular
backup so that's pretty cool but let's
just do a manual backup right now so
it's going to click this big button here
backup now I was gonna go away and do
that backup and there we go it says it's
all done we can check on the log page if
it's been successful as over here and
the log is there
and at the bottom it says that it's
completed and succeeded so that's all
good if I go back to the backup and
restore tab
we can see that it's here for the
download to a computer we just click on
this link here it's gonna break it down
into two parts that's part one I can
just click download save that on my
computer oh it looks like there isn't a
part to actually my mistake the backup
isn't big enough to be split into two
parts it's just the part one so that's
fine that's downloaded that's on my
computer that's nice and safe if I
wanted to restore the backup just simply
click this restore button and it will
restore it for me now if you have to set
up a fresh install of WordPress and you
want to restore a backup to that you'd
obviously installed this plug-in but
then there wouldn't be any backup to
restore from you'd then go to upload and
then select the file on your computer
and upload it to the site and then it
would appear here ready for you to
restore so that's the backup backing up
local if we wanted to backup to some
remote storage we'd come into this tab
here or my storage and you got a few
options depending on what you're using
your FTP SFTP Google Drive Dropbox
Microsoft onedrive Amazon s3 digital
ocean spaces now I'm gonna use Google
Drive because I've got a Google Drive is
a free service from Google so mother
will use it so you go to Google Drive
you give it a name like Google Drive 1
or something like that then you can tick
to set it as the default remote storage
and we're just going to click
authenticate with Google Drive you then
need to authenticate with your Google
account of course if you haven't got a
Google Drive setup you'll need to do
that first very easy to do just go to
Google type in Google Drive and you'll
find what you need there so I'm just
going to log in and allow access to my
drive
let's go back into
we'll check we scroll down we can see
that it's all there perfect so let's do
any another backup let's select this one
to save backup to remote storage and we
can see that it's now highlighted the
Google Drive icon
let's click backup now ok that seems to
be all ok so I go into my Google Drive I
should be able to see it let's do that
now
you
you
so here's my drive on we can see that
there is a folder that it's created here
called WP vivid underscore back up then
if we go in there there is my backup
file nice and safe on Google Drive so
that's backing up with this player I'm
really easy really straightforward an
essential thing to do as I said if you
need to schedule a backup which I would
recommend you just come in here tick the
box select how often you wanted to
backup and decide where you want it
probably on your remote storage if
you're using it and then you just click
Save Changes and in fact maybe I should
do that right now let's say let's go for
a weekly backup and do that and do that
perfect I can now sleep soundly at night
knowing that my site is being backed up
now the next part of this plug-in is a
Auto migration feature makes it really
easy to move your website to maybe a
different server different domain name
whatever you like so I'm gonna move this
site on to a test area which is useful
if you want to play around you know
maybe test that only plug in your theme
you can mess around with it break it and
fix it whatever then you can move it
back when you've finished so I've got a
little test area that I've set up it's
got a fresh install of WordPress on it
as you can see it's just got the default
theme running occasionally use it to
test stuff out but yeah there's nothing
really much going on it's just an
install of WordPress so what you would
do is you would install the plug-in on
the site that you want to move to so
back into plugins add new
uh believe it again then install
that's installed let's click activate so
we need to do now in order to do the
migration is coming to this key area we
need to generate a key I'm going to set
it for two hours just for security
reasons you want to set this to a short
as possible see that I'm doing it right
now two hours will be fine
let it click generate
and then I've got this key and I'm just
gonna select it all copy it into a
clipboard then really go back to the
site that I'm sending from can also send
best route box over to the test area now
before I do this I'm gonna just turn off
a couple of plugins and it does actually
recommend you do that down here so you
need to turn off your free or one
redirect plug-in any firewall or in any
caching plugins so let's do that now
so while cash were you running with
running WP fastest cash let's turn that
off
what else have we got we've got
action let's deactivate that and then
we've also got wordfence which is the
firewall let's just deactivate that so
they're all off so we're ready to go so
let's go back into WP vivid I'm going to
Auto migration
and then we're just going to paste that
code into here click Save
so says the connection is
okay to transfer best roof box.com to
test which is what we want to do that's
the right way around
let's click transfer
gonna do its thing okay that's all
finished it took a little bit longer
than I thought it kept kind of dropping
out on the connection and then retrying
but it got there in the end so if that
happens to you then just give it plenty
of time and it will be fine so now if we
head over to my test site test at WP
eagle comm and now if we go in to backup
and restore
there refresh
we've got this backup here that we've
received from best roof box comm so now
all we need to do is hit restore
so we got the option here with
change the domain name which is what I
want to do I want it to be on test
illegal or you can keep the original
domain name so if you were moving just
slightly new hosting and you were gonna
switch over your domain name as well
you'd go for that option now is giving
me a warning that it's not got the
recommended memory limits it's at one to
eight and should be two five six I'm
gonna leave it at that I'm gonna cross
my fingers and hope that that works okay
I did a video a while back on how to
increase your memory limit I'll put a
link up now if I can find that video it
might be a little bit old but if you
just google how to increase your memory
limit you'll be able to find that or you
can of course just ask your host um so
let's get restore let's go for this
it's going to do its thing okay that's
all finish didn't take too long it's
done it successfully so the memory limit
wasn't an issue that's good so let's
click okay
and well let's take a look at the site
are pretty good need to log in again now
cuz you know all of the users and
everything have changed over to best
route book so I just need to log in with
that username and password which I'll
just find if I can remember it think the
username is that one and then I think
I've got the possible I'm a clipboard
all being well let's go with that
we're in that's good let's take a look
at the site
you
there we go look best roof ebooks.com is
now over on test WP eagle comm complete
site all working looking nice I can now
play around with this break it test
stuff out change it and then when I
finished if I want I could then migrate
it back on to the live domain there we
go that's the end of the video

tasks backup restore and migration I
