"BackupGuard Is A Life Saver"

5/5

What do you like best about BackupGuard?

I have been using BackupGuard for the past 3 years. It has helped me in countless ways.

Since I use WordPress to develop my sites for clients, I create each site on a production site using a set of domain names that I purchased for that purpose. Doing this, I can show progress to my clients as the site is being developed. I use BackupGuard on these sites to backup the site as it is being developed.

When the site is ready for launch, I make a final backup and then export it to the hosting platform that will be used for the live site. I set up a simple WordPress site using the client’s domain name. I then install BackupGuard and backup the simple site. I then migrate the exported backup to the hosting site. When the export is complete, I restore that backup and the site goes live. The client’s domain name replaces the production domain name but passwords and user information are restored to the new site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is BackupGuard solving and how is that benefiting you?

I also use BackupGuard as part of a security package I sell to my clients. I make periodic backups of the site. On one occasion a new version of WordPress created a catastrophic problem with the theme I created for the site. When the problem was fixed with a new plugin, I was able to restore the client’s website with the latest backup I had created.

Recently, I was able to create a clone of a client’s website using BackupGuard and test it on one of my production sites before making any changes on the client’s site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
