Backup/restore tool to WordPress

Hi,

I've used a product called WPTwin to backup my WordPress sites, and it was really easy to use and also restore sites with. However, it looks like the product is no longer supported/maintained by the developer.

Can you recommend any tools that will let me do the following:
- Easy backup of Wordpress site(s)
- Easy restore of Wordpress sites
- If the backup can run automatically that would be great, but it's not a requirement.

I should also be able to restore a site to a new domain, so that if I'm making a Wordpress 'template site' I can use it on other domains.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Thomas

    I am using backup creator.

    There is still a wso running for backup creator.

    I am surprised that WPtwin is not supported. I just received some promotional email for it at a discounted price.

    Thank you

    Not to be redundant, but I also purchased backup creator here on the WF and use that. It's incredibly simple to use and is very well supported.

      ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys.
    The reason why I thought WPTwin was discontinued was that I went to their website yesterday, and it looked like it had been pulled down. However, today it seems to be up again (perhaps they were using their own product for this ).

    Thanks for your suggestions, though. Worth looking into.

    Cheers,
    Thomas
