Duplicator Pro packages WordPress site files and the database into a backup you can store, install elsewhere, or restore. Use the migration wizard to move a website to another host, domain, or server, including an empty destination that does not need a separate WordPress setup. Pro can also import a backup directly from a URL or cloud storage.

One package for a backup, move, or clone

Create a full-site package or choose components such as plugins, themes, or media for a custom backup or clone. A copy can become a staging site for testing changes in a separate environment. For a multisite network, Pro works with backups and migrations, including installing a subsite as a standalone site or importing a site into a network.

Scheduled runs and storage destinations

Schedule backups hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly, and save templates to reuse settings. Store packages locally or in Duplicator Cloud. Pro also connects to Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, FTP/SFTP, and S3-compatible providers. You can send one backup to several destinations.

Server settings and backup pace

The chunked backup engine divides work into smaller steps, which can help larger backups complete on shared hosting with strict server timeouts. Choose an archive engine that fits your server, such as DupArchive, ZipArchive, or shell zip, and a database option such as mysqldump or chunked PHP. Backups can create in the background while you continue working.

AutoTune runs test backups to find a configuration for the hosting environment. Before a backup, Duplicator checks the server configuration and explains problems in plain language, with a one-click fix where available.

Backup protection and restoration

Password protection and AES-256 archive encryption can protect backups, and each backup's security status is visible at a glance. When you need a saved site, restore it with one click from the WordPress dashboard without FTP or a manual installer upload.

Getting started

Install Duplicator Pro in WordPress and open its utilities from the dashboard. Create a package and choose the available archive and database settings for your server, or configure a schedule and storage destinations. For a migration, download or store the package, install it at the destination, and follow the migration wizard.
