### "A great alternative for web files restauration"

July 24, 2023

4.0

Among the top-performing backup & restoration plugins available in the market, Duplicator Pro is one of the best. It's a time-saver

Pros

Duplicator Pro also works pretty well like UpdraftPlus. It supports manual and backup scheduling. The backup process is quite simple and files can either be sent to a cloud-based server or downloaded directly to a local server.

Cons

\- Could be great if there were additional features for staging websites.- Regular backup schedule failures-Can even do better if the backup speed is high

### "Easy tool to migrate, (schedule)backup and install Wordpress websites. Lifesaver! "

October 28, 2019

5.0

I use this tool a lot to migrate websites from local testing. So I can develop locally without a need for internet connection and deploy it fast it is a great tool for people adapting the digital Nomad lifestyle. Restoring websites latest version if an update fails is fast and painless. Also it is a really great tool to create a starting point install for new Wordpress websites with all the basic plugins and settings I use often. It saves me a lot of time and gives e peace of mind since it is really reliable.

Pros

It is easy in use, saves a lot of time, reliable and comes with great problem-solving information and costumer-service. The last which I actually only needed once.

Cons

On budget hosts sometimes it is needed to tweak the setting a little to package more quickly.

### "The Best WordPress Plugin for Site Migration and Backup"

December 29, 2020

5.0

I have a very professional experience with Duplicator Pro, because sometimes I have to clone websites for my clients. Then I always use the Duplicator Pro, thus I definitely save my lot of time. Instead of manually configuring the plugins and themes I use the services of Duplicator Pro.

Pros

Duplicator Pro is the best WordPress plugin that allows you to migrate, copy, move or clone a website from one location to another. This plugin now supports drag and drop migration and you can restore your website within a few clicks. You can take and save the backups on your local or cloud storage.

Cons

As a developer you can create the clone of your websites within few moments. The features of this plugin are really outstanding. According to my point of view as a Web Designer, there are no cons.

### "Works very well in backing up the Wordpress website"

May 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

Among all the wordpress backup plugins i have used till now, duplicator pro is only the solution that works very well in backing up the whole website without having any errors.

Cons

I haven't faced any difficulties using this software, but the only downside is its learning curve. You might have some difficulties using this software if you do not have any experience with FTP, Cpanel, etc.

### "WordPress backups and replication made easy"

October 29, 2019

5.0

I love it. I use it for client backups on production servers and use it to easily move sites from dev to production.

Pros

I love how easy this software is to use! Not only do I get an easy way to move WordPress sites from dev servers to live servers, but the pro version gives you the ability to schedule regular backups and have the files moved off-site.

Cons

You have to dial in your server settings first, so you have to have access to the server to be able to get it working right in case it doesn't work right out of the gate.

### "Best Automated Backups for WordPress"

September 12, 2019

5.0

I am very satisfied with Duplicator Pro, the price is reasonable considering the amount of time and effort it saves me.

Pros

It's easy to set up automated backups for WordPress sites with Duplicator Pro. I create and manage sites for clients and Duplicator Pro has saved me weeks of agonizing work - for example, in the past when someone's site was hacked I had to rebuild it and load pages and posts from the old fashioned WordPress back-ups one at a time, with Duplicator Pro in a few clicks and less than 30 minutes the site is restored (including all the theme customization I had done previously). One of the sites I manage has 7 languages and with Duplicator Pro when the site owner wanted me to build a new site with different theme on a new domain with mostly the same content, it was quick and convenient to clone the original site and create the new site.

Cons

I honestly can't think of anything about Duplicator Pro that I don't like.

Reason for choosing Duplicator Pro

Duplicator Pro provides everything I need at a reasonable price.

### "What i think of Duplicator Pro"

February 25, 2021

5.0

Duplicator Pro helped me duplicate and migrate my site so easily. No much database commands and file handling, most of the steps are authomated.

Pros

Less complicated. Duplicator Pro is quite easy to use and most of its duplicating process is authomated. All you have to do is to set up a few things, allow it to do its work, download your files, upload your files to your server, point your browser to the required file follow the instructions thats all.

Cons

Gets a bit buggy at some point, medium sized to large websites have to figure out another way to migrate their data or purchase the pro version. Even at that, Duplicator Pro provided extra options for users who can't afford its premium version.

March 9, 2021

Hi, thanks for the review. Is this a review of Duplicator or Duplicator Pro? The reason I ask is that you made the comment "Duplicator Pro provided extra options for users who can't afford its premium version" However, Duplicator Pro is the premium version. It's also been optimized to handle very large websites so you shouldn't have to do a workaround with Pro.

### "Duplicator Pro Removes Technical Jargon and Saves Hours of Time"

March 17, 2021

5.0

Simple to use for any person that is not technically savvy. The main thing to remember here is that this plugin will save you hours of time over the year!

Pros

One of the best backup software packages I have used. Makes the job of transferring local website designs to a live domain very simple. I use this with my clients while offering a paid monthly backup service. And so this provides an extra revenue stream for my business.

Cons

Not entirely happy with the pricing of the Gold version which would have been nice to have and think this is a little pricey. However, I can see the benefits if you have a lot of customers.

Reason for choosing Duplicator Pro

The menu system is simpler and gives a clearer view of how to make backups.

### "Good tool for business"

October 12, 2019

5.0

I use DP as a backup tool for all my Wordpress websites, and it works a treat. I also use it to upload and transfer websites, and while it perhaps isn't as simple as it could be, it is a reliable tool.

Pros

Once set up, DP works in the background... I usually don't have to think about it.

Cons

It is slightly more complex than it needs to be.

### "A great way to migrate Wordpress websites"

February 13, 2021

5.0

We use Duplicator whenever we need to duplicate a website to try out new updates or plugins, or when we need to move websites between hosting providers. It is an invaluable plugin that we heavily rely on. It streamlines our processes and even helps with some backup functionality.

Pros

Duplicator Pro saves you valuable time. Duplicating a Wordpress website is quick and easy with it, done in a few clicks without editing the database and having to make sure all wp-config options are set correctly.

Cons

All of it was great. The price is steep if you only have to use it for one website, but the more you use it, the less expensive it gets.

### "Lifesaver"

August 13, 2019

5.0

This is an invaluable plugin for ensuring a website is protected while performing updates or introducing new features which can cause sites to crash.

Pros

Easy to use - creating a backup is a straight forward process. The warnings of issues with web files is also useful I.e. large image files or video that may be slowing the site. Installing the backup is also fairly straight forward.

Cons

Some knowledge of server and database settings is required for the re-installation of a backup.

Reason for choosing Duplicator Pro

As I run multiple sites I found the features of the pro version worth the purchase.

### "Backup With Ease"

August 27, 2019

Duplicato Pro is summed up as amazing!

Pros

Duplicator Pro Offered the easiest of all wordpress backup experiences I've ever seen, I love that once a backup is created the software creates an installer that will simply restore the site to a new location with minimal effort

Cons

There's not much to dislike about Duplicator Pro, but if I had to bring something up it would be the lack of white labeling with is minimal if not at all needed for most users.

### "Duplicator Pro Gives WordPress Websites Immortality"

September 16, 2021

5.0

We have achieved the deployment of multiple websites in record time and also the security of periodic backups.

Pros

The backup scheduler is a lifesaver as my organisation was able to restore our WordPress site in minutes when it got bugged. My team and I got a hang of it just the second day after deployment. The interface is well laid out. The use of licence across multiple client sites is simplified.

Cons

I have been using Duplicator pro for about 5 months now. I cannot really put my finger on any issue of concern. My team and I are full of praise for this tool.

### "Reliable WordPress Migration Plugin"

October 13, 2019

5.0

Overall very happy with Duplicator Pro. We will be using for years to come and it could only get better if the issues updating the windows plugin could be fixed. We definitely recommend it.

Pros

With Duplicator Pro it is very easy to keep our WordPress Site updated. After testing new implementations locally, the process of creating a Backup and installing it on our production server takes only some minutes and has always worked perfectly. After having been using it for almost a year (monthly updates of our site) I would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep his WordPress development and production sites updated without doing any manual changes on his production site.

Cons

The Plugin update process doesn't work properly on windows machines, so you have to completely uninstall and install the plugin when a new version is released.
