Useful plugin, but….

Seems to do what it says on the time, and will certainly make testing easier since it doesn’t need to create a separate WordPress installation or database.

I did notice however that every time the clone fails, it creates a new copy of all the tables. So If you have done several failed attempts at creating the staging site, you will have multiple copies of all the tables and thus a lot of wasted space in your database, which will use up your disk space quota and makes database backups and restores slower.
The plugin really needs to clean up after itself if the cloning process fails.
