    I have used duplicator to make a cop of my site
    I got two files and I uploaded them to a cloud storage and also copied them unto memory stick to another pc.
    does this mean my site is fully backup and I can update wordpress to new version I had my site on local host not on a server yet
    .this is my first website and am a bit worried about loosing the work .I am teaching my self by researching on the net so its taking a long time .

    Hey Shaun,

    You should have a full copy of your site in the archive file as long as you didn’t create a an directory filters when you created the package.

    Hope that helps~

    Just try and install the package to a new location, this is the best way to validate because you can validate the installation process as well…

    Hey Shaun,

    Checkout this question on the FAQs page I believe it may help or provide some clues about this issue:

    -> Browse to: http://lifeinthegrid.com/duplicator-faq
    -> Find question: “Why do I get plain/text, binary text, parse errors or a download prompt when browsing to the installer?”

    Hope that helps!
