Great tutorial, the most important part for me was that you actually deleted the whole website, database and folder which by the way is something that most of us would not do but seeing you do it and restoring everything successfully is what makes your video 100% trustworthy so thank you very much for taking the time to create this tutorial and explaining everything so clearly.

I'm always a fan of not using too many plugins :) Thanks for your continued viewership Susan, I appreciate it and I hope the videos I make will continue to be useful for you!

Great tutorial, thanks! For those who were over about 50% of disk capacity like, me, you'll have to zip and download and delete zip folders in smaller chunks. Or delete some files. I had some large old backup files on my server disk that I downloaded and then deleted. Made all the difference!

You just saved my life, I have 27 demo blogs to move to a new server and this works with a couple tweaks because of I am movingto a new host :) thanks so much!

Thank you! Short, clear and pretty well explained!

This particular tutorial is awesome, would be cool if you made one to show how to migrate it to bitnami or some other local WP site to test big site changes before doing them on a live site!

AMAZING. Exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing your expertise with a succinct, clear tutorial!

This is awesome...just did backing up my wordpress site...Thanks mate!

Thanks so much ... very clear and easy to follow tutorial. I was moving an existing website to a new server and I found it easier/simpler to use the Mysql Wizard to import the data-base file and create a new user and inputting existing user/pass from wp-config file instead of creating a new database altogether.

Thanks for sharing a great tutorial. I liked your professional approach.

So useful information and easiest steps that I have never seen before, thank you from 2022

Wow work for me thanks.

You are a god send! few minor changes... zipping larger files...being patient! Creating a new database...making sure database, username, password & host name all match in wp_options & wp-config.php..getting 'database error' messages trying to open the website...hey It's my first time migrating, can't be perfect!... since I had to create a new database, the host name will change and the information for your host name is under your hosting plan service where it will show you your DNS aswell...Be patient guys.. make notes of what you have done already to quickly change if necessary. I have realised most backup/restore plugins will backup but won't restore, so we have no choice than to do this manually in most cases. Good luck!!

Great, thank you very much

You can also do the backup from the WordPress dashboard. I'd suggest Updraft WordPress Backup Plugin, a couple of clicks, and voilà. Thanks for the video!

Very good presentation. The last two minutes were particularly interesting. What to do when the WP install has been botched and you need to start over. What to do when the hosting company goes bust and another outfit inherits hosting of your site. Those are real problems.

Nice!

Great video! I agree, always best to understand what the plugin is doing before just having blind faith in the plugin. So, in theory could you also use this process to change webhosting companies? Do the restore on the new webhost?

thank you!!!!!!

Perfect

thank you

Excellent only one suggestion and that is to do these walk though a bit slower so it is easier to understand and be careful that everything is as it appears to be. There are no load or time limits so why rush. Thanks again for a great video.

This is such a helpful video, thank you! In the event that we aren't interested in deleting everything for demonstration purposes, would you normally leave the Backup .zip in the directory after you've downloaded it? Or just delete it once it's saved elsewhere? I'm working with a tiny website I've just been handed so space isn't my issue (yet), but it feels redundant to keep the backup in the directory if all the site files are still intact...no?

Excellent video !! Thank you very much, I have a doubt, your site is so light, my backup is 1.5 gb, It's because I use a multipurpose theme, do I have to use a lightweight? What theme do you use? Help please

thank bro

i really enjoy your tutorials. you're a great instructor and you don't add cheesy music, which is a plus for me. i'm going to try this method. currently i use All-in-One Migration and Updraft Plus. they both work great but when i do a restore, i'm expecting everything to be wiped out and replaced by the restore file but this is not the case. have you used either of those and is this cpanel method your go-to backup/restore method? with your method, i know i'll get a perfect restore because i'm replacing the entire folder. you mentioned that it's not possible to zip via FTP, but actually it IS possible. i use Transmit (Mac) and after setting up SFTP, i can send commands to zip and extract - pretty cool! lastly: at 9:09 after restoring the DB, you said it "looks pretty similar to what we had before" but i think you meant to say that it looks EXACTLY like it did when it was backed up, right? thanks for the great tutorial!

I use Updraft Plus quite a bit because I have lots of sites to manage and I can automated the backups with UP and MainWP. I have a tutorial for my current backup procedure here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z2iaqcahoNTYnqQ.html The process in that video is best suited for people with multiple sites under their management. This manual backup method was my go to for a long time. And if I'm doing any major work on a site I make a manual backup like this as well as a plugin-based backup. I hope that helps, let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for watching!

Thanks

Great tutorial Bjorn as always. You explained it all great. I had a similar situation when I had to manually backup the site with all the data in the database, but after the backup some plugins stopped working. I hat to install some of the plugins all over again. Could it be that the newer version of the "PHP" caused this problem. Yesterday I got a mail from my provider, they informed that I have to upgrade to PHP version 7.2 and I have to do it manually, but if I don't do it manually they will do it for me automatically. If any problems appear with the plugins or some other functionalities I can revert to PHP 7.1. Have you encountered any problems with PHP 7.2? If you have, could you please explain what problems have you encountered. Thanks :)

Can I know if I only want to backup my main website and not the add on domains that I have. what are the files I need to take note of? thanks

Thanks! Is backing up via Cpanel 'backup wizard' same as manually copying public folder?

Hi there, this is a great video. I'm trying to leave siteground as the renewal cost is too expensive for me right now. Can I download the Wordpress files as shown here and upload them to another web-host provider later on?
