    Dear Cory,

    Thank you for your reply.. ??

    If the step 3 in the install procedure in the new site does not report any errors or warnings, do I have to look at the log file or it is expected to completed with absolute success?

    How does the Duplicator work & will it work with my site or Multi-Site (MU)?
    The plugin will backup all of your selected files and database tables (that you don’t filter/exclude). The Duplicator puts all your selected WordPress files and a scripted copy of your database into a single zip file called an archive. This package which consists of the installer.php and archive file which are download-able to a different location where you can re-install your site.

    At install time the following actions happen:
    Archive: Your archive file including all WordPress files are extracted along with the database script.
    Database: Your database is then re-created based on the new configuration setup
    Database: Every table in your database is scrubbed for a new URL update and server file path
    Database: Every cell is validated for PHP serlized and Base64 set strings
    Files: The wp-config.php is scrubbed for updates to WP defined variables
    Files: The .htaccess file is reset for the new location
    Will the Duplicator work with all my themes and plugins?
    In 99% of most cases it will work with your theme and your plugins. However there can be issues at install type where data was not able to port correctly. This is where you will need to read the final report on step 3 of the installer and validate the options that the plugin could not update. If you run into any errors or warnings please read the section directly below.
    Does this plugin work with Multi-Site or MU?
    The plugin is currently experimental with MU (Multi-Site). You are definitely welcome to try the plug-in with your MU site and provide feedback for the necessary tweaks/updates you made in order to finalize your install. Because we have had little experience with working on MU sites we currently don’t have allot of knowledge to offer at this point in time. In future version we do hope to get better support for MU, until then you might check out some other alternatives that may help get you more success with MU setups.
