Back up your site from chat.
Make a full backup before a big change, check that it finished and what it includes, and get the link to restore it, by asking. Uses the free Duplicator plugin.
Tested by us on 15 October 2026 with Duplicator 5.0.6, from ChatGPT and Claude, including real restores.
Things to ask
- “Make a full backup first, and wait until it’s done.”A new backup of files and database.
- “Which of my backups include both files and the database?”Reads. Nothing changes.
- “Give me the link to restore last night’s backup.”A link. You restore it in Duplicator.

Good to know
- Restoring happens in Duplicator’s own screen in wp-admin: your assistant gives you the link, you review and confirm. Duplicator has no restore ability, so a restore never runs from chat.
- We restored real backups on test sites: posts, settings and uploaded files came back exactly as they were.
- A database-only backup leaves out your files, uploads, themes and plugins. Your assistant says so.
- Backups are stored by Duplicator on your own server, not by AI Puffer. Restoring also rewinds AI Puffer’s own settings and records to that moment.
