All-in-One WP Migration OVERVIEW | Backup, Secure & Migrate

hi everyone this is Jay Pierre with websites for beginners and today I want to talk to you about backup and if you've never backed up your site when you finish this video go install this plug-in and make your first ever backup and there's a few reasons you have to do that the first reason if you want to use all-in-one WP migration is maybe one day you want to take your site from one domain to another and then you migrate it it is so simple and I'm trying to show you how to do it in this video the biggest reason is reason number two and reason number two is hacking malware no host is safe it has happened to me it can happen just like that and then you will need a clean copy of your site so that you can continue your work and the third reason is sometimes when you upgrade a plug-in a theme or any page builder that doesn't work very well and and you need to go quickly back to an old version then you have a backup for that and all in one WP migration can do all of that for you and we can do work with the free version but then I'm going to show you how you can automate all of that with a pro extinction and that will also allow you to sync it to an off-site cloud like onedrive Dropbox Box Amazon s3 the works let's see how you can do that we begin with the installation import/export and then the pro extensions here I have my wordpress site let's see currently what is going on with my site actually two e-commerce sites so we not only have a block and a lot of pages with a lot of content we even have a shop in here so we've installed a theme we've installed WooCommerce we have lots of media and we've got a few other plugins as well let's go see that just to show you everything that we've got here ah these amounts of posts and we've got a number of pages and then products we also have a few products there and let's go to our plugins to see I think it's about five or so plugins that we have currently installed here great so all of these plugins installed and they are activated let's now also install all-in-one WP migration and that is the free plugin as I said we will look at the pro extensions at the end of this video and that will automate the whole process for you search your all-in-one WP migration you can see over 2 million active installations all in one WP migration install now activate and once activated you will see here in the WordPress navigation menu on the left it appears over here let's click on that and see our options here it will give us export and import and backups and exporting backups more or less the same thing what we are going to do is we are going to export in simple terms our entire WordPress site so that if anything goes wrong we can import that copy and we can reset everything at that point of when we had exported it also the whole point of a migration is let's say I have it here on a site and I want to take it to another site I export it I go to that site and I install all-in-one WP migration and I import it as simple as that so to export you just click here on export and you're going to have a lot of options to choose from here these all of them under file are pro extensions so if you want to export it for example to Dropbox or Google Drive or your Amazon s3 you're going to have to go and get that extension for it so if I click here on Dropbox it will open a new tab in my browser and from here you can purchase this extension I will show you how I do it with onedrive and this in my opinion is the best 99 bucks ever spent for security and for backup purposes and the reason also and we'll talk about that soon is that once you install the extension you can do all-in-one WP migration automatically you don't need to do it manually like we are going to do now so we will export the file and this will be the entire file of our site it goes in it says checking extensions archiving 40 342 finals and it will go through the percentage of completion so let's sit back and wait for that so here I can download my file it has made a copy of this file in my backups folder but of course if my site is going to infect that I don't want my backup on my site I want it separately so what I'll do is I'm going to download it to my desktop and all I need to do is click here on the flashing icon and it will simply download it very quickly here for you in the bottom and then you click here on close let's go have a look at that file currently showing folder over here I have that backup download it and you can see if I click on it a hundred and twenty two megabytes so keep that one in mind we're going to use it soon I have made a backup copy now that I can either take to another computer and upload it and then I have a clone of my site or if this side of mine gets infected and I need to reinstall everything or go back to a previous install this incompatible plugin that has messed everything up then I'm simply going to load that to do that I'll go to import now if I'm going to import it we're gonna have no changes right because it's exactly the same site and what I'm going to do is going to break break you break break my heart I'm going to go to plugins installed plugins and over here I have WordPress reset that I'm going to activate and that will allow me to reset my entire site tools over here click on reset and then I will reset it and it warns me buddy after this it's all gone sweet sweet gone my theme is gonna be gone my pages my posts everything will Khmers the whole Tootsie it's going to be gone so here you see if I go to my pages my post it's heartbreaking right now I need to bring in all in one WP migration again because it has reset it it should still be here over there so all I need to do is activate it I go to my settings and click on import and import from all I need to do is drag and drop that file if I have an extension I can choose here now we'll do that very soon so let me open my file drag and drop it this import process will override your website including the database media plugins and themes please ensure that you have a backup of your data before proceeding to the next step the let's click proceed let's click on finish' and it seems like nothing happened here we don't have our WooCommerce we have for nothing so let's just do reload over here and I will have to log in again and look at that here is the test let's go to the front end wah wah lah it makes us proud good so we've exported and we have imported it and let's just look here at what it says on the backups this is the backup that we had made previously it stores one for you here in your dashboard as well so what you can do is you can download it again if you want to you can restore it directly from here or you can delete it let's go again - all in one WP migration to the dashboard which will bring us to export and then what I will do is I will say export - I'm going to click on onedrive that is the one I will use so with the onedrive you get a lot of additional features export and import - from onedrive and from onedrive it can be an extension you want supports onedrive for business lifetime license and that's great what you are paying here its lifetime and you can use this on as many sites as you want go back into WordPress go to plugins add new and from here I will install not extinction so you're going to purchase it here from surf mosque then you download it and of course it's going to be our good old friend zip folder over here upload we drag and drop him and we install activate that's as simple as that it's activated nothing more you need to do you can see over here all-in-one WP migration onedrive extension let's go back here and now you will see onedrive settings appear here again if you had used Outlook or any of the other extensions FTP these things will appear over here let's go have a look at what we get with this the first thing you will need to do is link your account click on that and this will take you through the whole process of setting it up of course I'm not gonna share your details with me but because I have already linked it previously it will do so again now this time what is going to happen in this instance is that it's going to connect to my onedrive account for the URL Block C - freed local it will create a folder within my onedrive and now all I need to do is configure my backups so I can set the time here how often do I want this to make a backup if you work regularly like you're working during the day you're in crunch mode and you have to do a lot of things going for every hour is a good idea because you may screw things up and you need to go back then every hour is a good idea it will make a copy of this throw it in the onedrive folder just like the backup folder you saw earlier and you can just import it again from there my case because I usually have a specific time I go and work on a website daily I put it on every day if you're scientists you know kind of stagnant you don't do much then you put it on every week and every month but I would recommend minimum every day minimum you you won't believe it when I tell you minimum but go ahead and do that here you can set your destination folder and like I said it's going to open it automatically for me at Block C - free don't logo I will leave it like that one of the things I do is I send an email to myself when it is complete and you can also send an email if the backup fails and that's kind of a warning what's going on over there over here keep the most recent backups if you put it at zero it will just keep making backups and you will have to go and delete the old ones automatically and limit the total size of backups I would leave these at zero if you've got the space if you're using onedrive I mean if you've got onedrive you probably have an office account and that means you get one terabyte it's a lot of space for that and then here you can also set your transfer settings if you're on a slow internet or a fast internet if you know you work with a fast internet server you can put it at fast as well and simply then click on update and that's it that folder that we had created will now appear in your onedrive folder your Dropbox folder whatever follow your Amazon three and if you have any problems or you need to migrate your site you just go grab it there and you do what we did earlier by importing it and it's as beautiful as that will this prevent you from getting hacked pic no it's not gonna prevent you from getting hacked but if you do get any malware and any strings that are infected then at least you have a copy that is still pure that you can import and restore your site to a previous version do not think and I will repeat it again do not think it cannot happen to you know host is 100% safe that's just a fact and sometimes you are going to try something you're going to try a new plugin that's going to open a door or going to bring in something that's going to mess up your site it's not that it got hacked it just got corrupted in some way and you won't need it so this to me is probably one of the cheapest alternatives out there instead of getting big security plugins you will have to look at your kind of business and how much security you need to ensure that you don't get hacked or what you need for migration but I love all-in-one WP migration with my onedrive extension or whichever extension you want to use perfect right so before we exit this video let's have a look at all the extensions that you get when you go to surf mask and you get one of these extensions you have Dropbox Google Drive you see the FTP the onedrive we've talked about and all of these include this unlimited extension that removes the import limit of 512 megabytes so if you've got a mega store with a lot of plugins and a lot of photos remember your photos are always going to contribute to do a file size then there is no limit on the 512 megabytes you also get the lifetime license with lifetime updates use on any number of websites that you own and restore backup from the server with those extra features there are many security and backup plugins out there and all I can tell you is you need to do it now a minimum of one of them whether it's all in one WP migration or any other one if you have not backed up your site in the last week you need to go do it now and this video I hope has shown you how easily it can be done and you don't have to fear backup or migration it's a very easy process
