The best find :)
I have used all the most popular migration plugins. They are all very good, but cumbersome or paid limitations. FastDup does exactly what I need, quickly. No complaints yet. Thanks!

New installer within 24 hours
After I had to give up my old website duplication plugin because it had become unusably slow, not long after it was taken over from its original author, I tried several alternative solutions. FastDup does what I want and does it FAST! And when I reported that something was missing in the backup installation process, my report was answered within an hour and I received a customized installer the next day.

Promising - but doesn't work
Will not connect to database. Followed instructions several times to create MySQL database, user and grant permissions.

Easy to use, very fast support
Glad I found this! With it, I easily managed to move my 10GB travel blog from one address to another on a different webspace. Everything was backed up - database texts, images, videos, plugins, themes and even every customization I did to the html and php code on my own! Only flaw I discovered was that emoticons in posts & comments were not backed up correctly, so I wrote a little bug report and not even 24 hours later (on a weekend!!!) I got a fixed version from the developers! All thumbs up for this nice little piece of software! Thank you guys! ❤️
