Backup your Wordpress Website for Free in Under 5 Minutes!

In this tutorial, I will be showing you the best way to backup & save your Wordpress website. This is a totally free method that I recommend if you have a small website.

Unfortunately this method doesn’t work perfectly if you have a website bigger than 2GBs. However there is still a solution I will explain later.

It’s extremely important that you invest time in backing up your Wordpress website.

This actually isn’t an overly complicated tutorial, I think anyone can follow these instructions to backup their website.

1. Download & Activate the Duplicator Plugin
This plugin is used by almost all of developers in the Wordpress industry.

It’s extremely well documented & has plenty of paid upgrades to make your life easier. But the free version is totally useful too.

2. Create a New Package in Duplicator
This is essentially creating a backup of your Wordpress website.

What it captures is:

Your website files (the physical structure of your website)

Your database files (the memory/data on your website like login details)

This means that your Wordpress website can be deployed anywhere & it will still look the exact same & have all the data.

3. Download your Website Package Files
Duplicator will give you two files, an archive file which contains all of your website data.

Plus it will give you an installer file, this is used to install your website on a new server. Essentially it’s a code which explains how to unpackage & deploy the archive file

Make sure you save both of these files & give them a date - so you can tell when they’re from.

Do you want to learn more about me?

I grew up in the remote north-west corner of Australia 🇦🇺 known as the Kimberley. It's approximately the size of California, but with a population of about 90,000 people. It was a beautiful & rugged place to grow up.

I started my journey in marketing back in the Kimberley, where I dabbled in videography. Before I knew it, I was filming weddings & commercials for local businesses. As much as I loved videography, I didn't like the pressure of filming for clients 🎥

A few years later, I moved to Adelaide (South Australia) and decided to learn digital marketing 📲. From there it's been a rollercoaster, my business has snowballed as I built up my skills & got better at my work.

Now, I find myself focusing on digital marketing, education & being active outdoors. Follow along for the journey 🌎
