Drushĭrush (Drupal Shell) is a command-line utility written in PHP. I moved the files, created a new database, edited settings.php and for the new database, exported the database from the existing site and imported it in the new site's database with phpMyAdmin and VOILA - site moved! (sometimes I copy the files, make a default installation, enable the Backup & Migrate module, and import the database in the module interface - that works too). I just moved a complex site with Views, APK, CiviCRM, etc., about 12,000 files. The module also facilitates the migration of the site. While there may be some issues of security when you save the database and content as a file (you could exclude certain tables, perhaps), the benefits of having a rollback in case of a disaster are significant. That way, you have a "restore point" in case of disaster. You can also create a manual backup before undertaking any complex configuration changes or major updates. You can configure it for automatic backups saved to the filesystem - with more frequent backups during development. The Backup & Migrate module facilitates emergency recovery and site migration. An automatic backup strategy is easy to implement using the Backup & Migrate module, and a manual backup can be created before major updates or new implementations, providing a convenient restore point taken immediately prior to the changes going in. To create a complete copy of the website both the database and the custom files will need to be backed up. Upgrades and patches can be tested singly or in groups with high confidence when using a recent backup of your production site.New development environments can be created and refreshed very easily.If for any reason your website goes awry restoring it from a recent backup is sometimes the only option available.Creating and storing website backups is not just an element of website best practices, it is the most important step to ensure website stability and a requirement for all forms of development!
