Backupand Restore Multisite

    Hi David,

    I’m planning to run a WordPress with Multisite and initially on shared hosting, webhostinghub.com allow and support such setup, but my concern how to backup the whole thing and restore it to different server when I want to move to a dedicated server.

    The Multisite setup that I’m planning would be directory path and not sub-domains setup.

    Initially we are not going to map domains to sub-sites, maybe later on in the future if the idea succeeded and we have a dedicated server.

    I know that you can run updraftplus at the sub-site level,but can updraftplus backup wordpress Multisite (I don’t mean the Sub-sites) that has directory setup and not sub-domains and restore the whole thing including the sub0sites to a new server?

    I’m not referring to migration, there would be only one domain for this Multiple sites Network. If your plugin can backup the whole thing at the root level, then it would be a matter of A record update to point it to the new server IP address, and the restore will take place at the new server that has new WPMS with the same domain name.

    I am willing to pay for such add-on. Please let me know if your capable to do that.

    Thanks,

    Imad Daou

    Hi,

    UD, when running on a multisite, *only* backs up everything – i.e., it does not (yet) have an option to only back up some sites.

    Similarly, when restoring, it restores everything. The “Migrator” add-on is only needed if you are changing URL (which it sounds like you are not). The Multisite add-on is only needed if you have admins who are not super admins (without it, all admins can back up/modify/restore the entire install).

    Does that cover it?

    Best wishes,
    David

    Thanks David for your prompt reply, that’s fine. Backing up the whole thing and restoring the whole thing is what I’m looking for, since my concern is at the time when I need more resources and i must move to new server.

    When you said “UD, when running on a multisite, *only* backs up everything – i.e., it does not (yet) have an option to only back up some sites.” Did you mean UD with the Multisite add-on?

    2nd: I guess the regular UD would be for the sub-site owner to backup ONLY his/her site, isn’t it? this can be used till you add the sub-site option at the Network UD (the Main One I mean).

    When you said “The Multisite add-on is only needed if you have admins who are not super admins (without it, all admins can back up/modify/restore the entire install.)” did you mean the sub-site when you say entire install? I didn’t get the last part, please explain.

    So, in the future, if I wanted to move the Whole thing including the sub-sites to new server, I have to buy the Multisite plugin. isn’t it? please confirm.

    Right now you don’t support a sub site plugin, so sub-site owners can use the regular UD to backup only their site, isn’t it? please confirm.

    Please list all the addons that you recommend for Network Site or WPMS.

    Thank you Dave,

    Imad
