I am thinking of getting back up buddy. I am redesigning a static web site for a client in Wordpress.
I want to do multiple back ups to the client site.
1. 1st back up from my test site to the client site, will contain pages same as their current site.
2. I will continue development (re design) in my test site and periodically back up to the client site.
What does Back up buddy do with the old site files each time for both the static site and Wordpress site?
Thank you,
Deepa

Hi Deepa,
When BackupBuddy creates a backup of a site, the contents of the backup will contain the site's content at the time the backup was created. It doesn't affect the source site any to create a backup of it. Each time a backup is created it is a new separate backup, not an "on-going" single backup.
Thanks,

Hi Deepa,
Part of a migration/restore is to remove the WordPress installation if there is one already at the destination site. So if taking a backup of a site and migrating it to a new spot and there is already a site there (such as going from a dev site to a live site), then the site already there would have to be removed first.
There also needs to be a blank database to import then migrate in but for that one can either create a new database to use (so old database would still exist, just not pointed to so is the safer method) or wipe the old one to use it again (probably the faster method to handle the database part of a migration/restore).

Hi Akers,
I understand.
My project involves only about 6-7 pages.
So, I am thinking of :
1. Converting the existing site to Wordpress pages on my test site.
2. Backing up to the client site's root directory (currently a static site) using Backup Buddy.
3. Working on the new pages on my test site and just cut & paste to transfer content to the client site.
As WordPress allows to create pages which need not be put in the main menu right away.
That way, I don't need to back up the full thing every time.
Also, doesn't index.php take lower precedence than index.html?
So, for the 1st time back up from my WordPress test site to client static site, the destination shouldn't need to be removed ?
Thank you
