In this video we will see how to use a plugin to back up and restore it work recite the plug and we

00:09.900 --> 00:13.850
will use to back up our website is our last backup

00:24.320 --> 00:33.080
this plugin is very popular and has more than 800 thousand active installs and more than 2000 poster

00:33.080 --> 00:34.310
reviews.

00:34.520 --> 00:42.180
It was last updated five days ago so it's pretty current and it's compatible with our version of wordpress.

00:42.770 --> 00:44.600
Let's install and activate the plug in

00:54.280 --> 01:04.350
Willo configure the settings with the plugin creates a menu item in the Settings menu.

01:04.850 --> 01:10.130
It also creates a link to the settings screen here.

01:15.740 --> 01:22.010
By clicking on backup now the backup will be created on the web server but that's not the best thing

01:22.010 --> 01:23.090
to do.

01:23.120 --> 01:26.570
You would want the backup to be on a remote location.

01:26.570 --> 01:32.270
You could create a Dropbox account and have the backup copy stored there instead of storing them on

01:32.270 --> 01:38.940
your web server but clicking on the Settings tab you'll be able to configure the settings.

01:39.800 --> 01:45.850
The very first thing you'll need to do is to choose whether you want to manually backup files or if

01:45.960 --> 01:49.610
it is to be done automatically next tues.

01:50.180 --> 01:55.940
Automatic weekly backups for the files and a bit of base

02:00.300 --> 02:04.270
let's leave the number of backup copies.

02:04.350 --> 02:12.840
This plugin will retain to here you'll need good to the service you want to use to store the backups.

02:12.840 --> 02:18.360
There are a lot of support services and since I have already set up that Dropbox account to be used

02:18.360 --> 02:25.050
with this website there to Dropbox you need to authenticate with Dropbox.

02:25.260 --> 02:31.710
What we need to complete the rest of the settings and click save changes before we'll be able to authenticate

02:32.030 --> 02:36.300
with Dropbox.

02:36.300 --> 02:44.550
You want to backup plugins streams and uploads if you want to receive an email every time a backup has

02:44.550 --> 02:45.570
been completed.

02:45.600 --> 02:48.120
You would want to select this.

02:49.110 --> 02:54.780
Click on Save tenderers and you'll be asked to authenticate your Dropbox account.

03:00.490 --> 03:04.010
Look we all tend to get the drop box set up for this

03:09.630 --> 03:16.400
click on low the drop box icon has been authenticated.

03:17.670 --> 03:23.620
It's now creating the backup if we pause the video

03:28.500 --> 03:30.420
it's now come back up.

03:30.600 --> 03:36.730
And if you go to the existing backup Stabb you can see it has one backup copy here.

03:37.110 --> 03:43.550
If you want to restore restore you can also delete the backup copy.

03:44.250 --> 03:48.820
This plugin is really easy to use in the next couple of years.

03:49.020 --> 03:53.760
We will see how Perpich backups manually and restore them.
