I use a specific domain for building test blogs. I decided to move my Telescope Guide auction site from a Bravenet shared hosting account (which doesn’t support cron jobs) to a VPS webhost. I discovered that the BackupBuddy plugin doesn’t run on Bravenet either (probably takes too many resources) so I had to download all the WordPress files and folders to my PC (Bravenet doesn’t even provide a File Manager so I couldn’t zip up the files). I then uploaded them to mvpvw.com. I then had to create a database backup (I used GD Press Tools (no longer available) for this), download the archive it to my PC, upload it to mvpvw.com, import the database, manually update the wp-config.php file with the database connection parameters, then recreate the .htaccess file and make some other adjustments in WordPress once everything was linked up and running.
I made some mods to the site, tested a few things out in preparation for moving it (again) to a new permanent home. Guess what, BackupBuddy doesn’t run on this server either. Looks like I’ll have to manually move the whole site again. As far as I’m concerned BackupBuddy isn’t worth the money. It’s done what it’s supposed to about 40% of the time.
All the best,
