 * Hi,
 * I tried to make a clone of my local hosted website with the plugin WP Clone. 
   Making the backup went succesful the plugin said. I then restored it on a new
   WordPress installation on an other computer. The homepage works well, but all
   the other pages not. How can I backup the full website?

 * Hi!
    I just had this problem also. I remember reading somewhere that often the
   permalinks have something to do with it so it’s smart to remember that your original
   site and new site have the same permalink structure selected before restoring
   the .zip clone.
 * After importing the site the first time it was only working on the front page
   but all links within the site to other pages, posts etc. were just 404 errors.
   
   I simply tried the restore (import) again using the same restore link and it 
   fixed everything. ***********
 * PS- I did the manual restore where I copy the .zip file to the new site’s wp-
   clone folder using an ftp client. That way when I hit the “restore” button I’m
   using a link that is pointing to the server of my new site and not the original
   site.
