WP Clone vs. Marion's FTP Training
Last Update: November 10, 2017
By now all of us should have read Marion's training on backing up our sites using FTP... https://goo.gl/NZNs1R
I've used her training but in the past I've used WP Clone a lot and was wondering what is WP Clone missing compared to Marion's FTP technique?
Seems like WP Clone takes a lot less time and it just got my curiosity up a wee bit!
Thank ya' for any info you can give me!!!

Marion uses both (◠‿◕✿)
I run WP Clone for daily backups and FTP once a month. WP Clone's developers admit that it fails in around 10% of cases. Full Backup With a Plugin Backup Your Website With FTP

Hey Randy,
It is NOT a matter of missing anything. Marion has created a tutorial on WP Clone (that's how I first learned of this handy little plugin!) too.
However, it depends on your needs.
Example:
As a website designer, I manage several WP websites, and when doing any updates, I use WP Clone FIRST ... and, ever set period of time that I have chosen, I back up the files using FTP access so they are NOT all in one zip file.
Reason being ... there have been a couple of times I have needed to reinstall a plugin version that is no longer available. Having the individual files downloaded makes that much easier to retrieve one folder.
That's one example of where using FTP as backup comes in VERY handy.
Hope this helps you.
