See why experts love Duplicator: “Duplicator provides an easy to use tool to make backups of your site, or to transfer it to another location.” Richard McAdams – Expert Web Developer 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).
