XCloner is a tool that will help you manage your website backups. XCloner is a flexible tool that works with Joomla, with WordPress, or standalone to back up any PHP/MySQL site, or parts of a site. The tool allows you to exclude files, directories, or databases from your backups. It allows you to generate, move, and restore backups to make sure that your website will always be secure.
Once you have configured XCloner you will be able to backup, move, or clone your site to any other location with just a few clicks.
XCloner can work as a files-only backup utility, as a database backup utility or as a full backup utility which includes the previous two options.
