Hey Guys,
Cool Software, but I would suggest a progress bar to visually represent the backup process as people get antsy waiting for something that they don’t know when it’s gonna end

On content and design — I second that proposal. On form of delivery, I suggest making a higher resolution video next time because even though I have a 22 inch screen I still have problems seeing all the small detail of the video instruction above…
Overall, though, GREAT JOB! Keep it up!

As a site developer this is a great tool! I love to be able to tell my clients that I have a full backup of their site in case something happens with their host/server. I just spent a few minutes going through the tutorial, but would love to have a step-by-step written document that explains how to restore and/or migrate the backup if and when it’s needed.

Hi Ellen,
Thanks for the input. We’re working on the next updates to BackupBuddy, and will have additional tutorials to go along with it. I’ll ask the team about doing a step-by-step guide, but my hunch is it will be so easy and straightforward, you won’t even need it.
Oh, and make sure you check out this post, too. http://pluginbuddy.com/backupbuddy-training-video-learn-how-to-backup-restore-migrate/

I have been playing around with backup buddy,and I now think I have it working OK.
The first 2 tries went wrong, but now my site is working.
I was moving my domain and site to another server, it all went wrong to start with, but like i said now all ok.
Such a cool tool, Thanks Guys for making such a good tool
