Back up your site

Duplicator3 minutesChangesTested 15 Oct 2026
Paste into ChatGPT or ClaudeBefore we change anything, make a full backup of this site with Duplicator. Wait until it’s finished and tell me if it’s usable, whether files and the database are both in it, and whether anything was left out.

Changes content or settings on your site. See the recipe below for approval requirements. Read only cannot make changes.

  1. Your assistant starts a full Duplicator backup.
  2. It checks the status until the backup is complete.
  3. It reports whether files and the database are included and whether anything was excluded. It should continue with changes only after the backup is confirmed.
  • “A database-only backup is enough.” (Quicker, but files aren’t in it.)
  • Each successful status check uses one website action.
  • Duplicator stores the backup using its configured storage.
