Backing up your WordPress site might sound like one of those things you’ll “do later,” but trust me, it’s one of the best habits you can build as a website owner. I’ve seen so many people lose their blogs, online stores, and even business websites just because they didn’t have a simple backup in place. It only takes one server crash, a bad plugin update, or even a small mistake to bring your whole site down.

That’s why I made the video above — a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to use the Duplicator plugin to back up your WordPress site quickly and safely. If you’ve never done a backup before, don’t worry. I keep things beginner-friendly, and by the end of the video you’ll be confident enough to create your own backups anytime.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the tutorial:

How to install and set up the Duplicator plugin.
How to create a full backup of your site (database + files).
How to download that backup to your computer.
And how to restore your website if something goes wrong.

One thing I really like about Duplicator is how straightforward it is. You don’t need to be a tech person — the plugin guides you through the process step by step. Once you get the hang of it, you can even use it to move your site to a new host or create a staging copy for testing.

So, if you want to protect your site and save yourself from future headaches, go ahead and watch the video above. Follow along, and in just a few minutes, you’ll have your very first WordPress backup ready.
