Hey,

I'm looking to make a 2nd copy of my website to use on another domain for a separate business, how would I go about doing this?

I'm sure I had back up files but I can't find them anywhere.

Excuse me for the basic question but I'm not the most technical (although I follow instructions well)

Its a customized theme from genesis.

Thanks

Try to create new beta theme

Use Admin Theme Preview plug-in

Do make the changes what you want, then activate your theme. It’s just simple.

Or

Download a copy of XAMPP, on your machine install wordpress locally. Do all the changes offline. After

you are done with your work you can upload the whole things on the server.

Or

Try second copy service.

Get professional help. Moving a site can be easily done by replicating the local files, database, and making the appropriate changes.
I'd suggest going about it that way if you don't want to install any plugin.

I can get the job done for you. (No charge.)
I'm currently looking for reviews.

  I used the duplicator to clone my Genesis website just yesterday and yes it works great. I did the following -
  (1) Installed and activated the duplicator plugin in the source website (the one to be cloned)
  (2) At the plugin page, I created a package. This generates two files - a zip for the website and installer.php
  (3) Downloaded the two files on to my computer
  (4) Transferred the two files to the new domain's folder using FTP
  (Note - the new domain does not need WordPress or Genesis installed. The process will take care of it)
  (5) Created a new database and database user using your hosting service's cpanel.
  (6) Once the two files (zip and installer.php) were transferred to the new domain, I typed in the following URL -
  
  www dot insertyourdomainhere dot com/installer.php
  
  Once this page loads, you'll need to give the database/username/password created in Step 5 and complete the rest of the process.
  
  A bit tedious I know, but sure beats the hell out of doing so manually, sans plugin! If you need more details about a particular step, let me know.

  Thanks
