Thanks for the speedy response. I purchased Migrator and after a little digging to figure out how to allow plugins to install on my local machine it worked beautifully. I did notice one little oddness perhaps you can explain. The files in the backup set all have the date 2013-12-29-0146. The display in the “Drop backup files here” box shows the file names with the correct date/time. Once converted, the backup row shows a different date/time 2013-12-28 17:46. (I believe this is eight hours earlier?)

I posted a screen shot here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bx-EeFHzzES6Wk5tNFBnZ1I1Rzg/edit?usp=sharing

Any thoughts?

Hello David,

I wondered if Migrator allows restore to localhost yet (as implied earlier in this thread “There are a few other pieces of the jigsaw yet… but more is done than not done.”) I checked out the documents at https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-do-i-migrate-to-a-new-site-location/ and https://updraftplus.com/shop/migrator/ and can’t see a mention of it. Mostly they are pretty specific about cloning to a “web address/URL”

FWIW I have things mostly working using UpdraftPlus backups to establish my local dev instance on XAMPP, I just can’t figure out how to go the other way (from dev to production).

Thanks for a useful plugin!
