I highly recommend using this FREE backup tool, Duplicator, that my team built. 👉 Take a look: [( Using Duplicator is like having an 'Undo' button - but for your entire WordPress site! It creates reliable, rock-solid backups that you can restore with just a few clicks. The free plugin is just what most website owners need. If you want advanced features, like regular automated backups and cloud storage integration, then you can upgrade to its [Pro version](. Start taking offsite backups and secure your website today. Cheers, Syed Balkhi, Founder of WPBeginner {NAME}, Are you having a WordPress website crisis?
