WordPress Backup & Migration Plugin

Duplicator provides a simple way to move WordPress sites, create reliable backups, or clone a site for staging. With Duplicator, you can easily migrate, transfer, or clone your WordPress site between domains or hosts with no downtime. Create full backups of your website, or package your entire site to download and install elsewhere with only a few steps.

At Duplicator, reliability, security, and ease of use are our top priorities. Duplicator is built on the same engine as Duplicator Pro: backups of any size, encrypted archives, 1-click restore and cloud storage are all part of the free plugin. Our easy migration wizard makes Duplicator the most beginner-friendly backup and migration plugin on the market. You don’t have to hire a developer. Create a backup and migrate sites in just a few minutes.

Duplicator Pro
This plugin is the Lite version of Duplicator Pro, which comes with scheduled backups, cloud storage integrations, multisite support, staging sites and more. Get Duplicator Pro for the complete migration and backup solution.

Easy Site Migration, Backup, and Cloning

Duplicator streamlines site migrations by packaging your website files and database into a single file, known as a “backup”. Download and re-install your “backup” on any new WordPress location or server without dealing with complicated setups. Launch at your new destination without installing WordPress. Duplicator is the only migration and backup plugin that works on an empty site.

“Duplicator provides an easy to use tool to make backups of your site, or to transfer it to another location.”

Backups Without Size Limits

Duplicator’s chunked backup engine splits the work into small steps, so backups of any size complete even on shared hosting with strict server timeouts. Pick the archive engine that fits your server (DupArchive, ZipArchive or shell zip) and the database engine you prefer (mysqldump or chunked PHP). Backups build in the background while you keep working, and Duplicator runs on managed hosts such as WordPress.com, WP Engine and GoDaddy Managed.

AutoTune: Backup Settings That Configure Themselves

Not sure which settings your server needs? AutoTune runs real test backups and finds the configuration that works on your host, automatically. Before every backup Duplicator checks your server configuration, and when something goes wrong it explains the problem in plain language and offers a one-click fix.
