Duplicator Pro

Package and move WordPress sites

Duplicator Pro combines a site’s documents and database in a backup package for storage, migration, cloning, or staging. Use the migration wizard to install a package at another host, domain, or server, including an empty destination that does not yet have WordPress installed.

Choose a backup process

Set backups to execute hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, and reuse templates for backup settings and storage destinations. Pro connects to Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, and S3-compatible storage providers. A backup can be sent to several destinations at once.

For custom backups, select website components such as plugins, themes, or media. The chunked engine divides work into smaller steps to help backups complete on shared hosting with strict server timeouts, including for larger sites. Choose an archive engine such as DupArchive, ZipArchive, or shell zip, and a database engine such as mysqldump or chunked PHP. Backups can create in the background while you continue working.

Check, protect, and restore packages

AutoTune runs test backups to find settings for the hosting environment. Before each backup, Duplicator checks the server configuration and explains problems in plain language, with a one-click fix where available. Protect an archive with a password and AES-256 encryption, and check its security status at a glance.

Restore a saved backup with one click from the WordPress dashboard, without FTP or a manual installer upload. Backups stored in connected cloud storage can also be restored from there.

Use staging or multisite utilities when needed

Clone a site to make a staging copy for testing changes in a separate environment. For WordPress multisite, back up and migrate a network, install a subsite as a standalone site, or import a site into a network.

Get started

Install and activate Duplicator Pro in WordPress, then open its tools from the dashboard. Create a backup package and select the archive and database settings for your server, or configure scheduled backups and cloud storage. For a migration, download or store the package, install it at the destination, and follow the migration wizard.
