Duplicator Pro

Duplicator Pro is a WordPress migration and backup plugin that creates portable packages of your entire site — files, database, plugins, themes, and media. These packages can be used to migrate sites between hosts, create staging environments, perform site cloning, and maintain regular backups with cloud storage integration.

Site Migration

The plugin creates a single archive file containing everything needed to recreate your WordPress site on a different server. The installer script handles database import, URL replacement, serialized data updates, and file extraction, automating the complex parts of WordPress migration.

Backup Features

• Scheduled backups — configure automatic backup creation on daily, weekly, or custom schedules
• Cloud storage — send backups to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon S3, OneDrive, and other destinations
• Backup retention — set how many backup copies to keep, automatically deleting older archives
• Selective backup — include or exclude specific directories, files, or database tables from packages

Large Site Support

Duplicator Pro handles large WordPress installations that exceed basic hosting limits. It includes chunked file processing, database segmentation, and timeout handling to create packages reliably on sites with large media libraries or extensive databases.

Multisite Support

The Pro version supports WordPress multisite network migration and sub-site extraction. You can migrate an entire multisite network or extract a single sub-site as a standalone WordPress installation.

Migration Workflow

The migration process involves creating a package on the source site, transferring the archive and installer to the destination, and running the installer wizard. The wizard handles database configuration, URL updates, and permission settings for the new environment.
