Good news everyone! We’re very glad to announce another wonderful sponsor for WordCamp Gold Coast 2011! Introducing BackupBuddy! Now, if you’re not familiar with BackupBuddy then let me say this: You’re doin’ it wrong!
BackupBuddy allows you to backup, migrate, and restore your entire single or Multisite WordPress install including the widgets, themes and plugins. To keep your backups safe, BackupBuddy supports sending your backups offsite to Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud, Dropbox, FTP, and email. Quickly and easily restore your site on the same server or migrate to a new server with a different domain and database. The process is easy, fast, and reliable.
My own personal favourite feature in BackupBuddy is the restoration process. I use this feature for server migratation on at least a weekly basis to move sites from a staging URL to the live URL. BackupBuddy makes this process a breaze and it’s completed within minutes. No more find and replacing of URL’sin phpmyadmin or using a Search and Replace plugin. BackupBuddy even unserializes and reserializes widget data for you as well so all your widgets will be intact after the migration! Bliss!
Oh and WordPress Multisite support is now in Beta!
