 * I have installed latest XAMPP and latest WordPress on my PC Windows7: localhost
   etc.
 * What I would like to do is: backup my live site to my pc using plugin, work on
   it and then restore it on my live site again.
 * Idea is: install your plugin on the live site and localhost WP as well, then 
   make a backup of my live site WP, then ftp everything to my pc and restore everything
   using your plugin.
 * Is this possible? Any ideas?
 * I did try different plugins, but so far I had no luck with any of them for different
   reasons. (time out, no restore feature etc.)
 * TIA

 * Hi Tia, yes, XCloner should be able to do this. Please the check video i’ve posted
   on the main page, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9iWpPyG1EE&t=1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9iWpPyG1EE&t=1s),
   it shows how i’ve created a live site backup and restored it to a localhost server.
 * One note in your case if you are unable to make your localhost server have a 
   public url, is to simply download the backup archive and upload it in the same
   directory with the restore script we provide on the Restore Page, then simply
   use the localhost url you have there when asked for the restore script url and
   skipping the second step regarding backup transfer, you can just go on to the
   next step to Restore the backup archive files.

   be able to help you.

 * Thank you very much Ovidiu, I will try. The “only” problem I can see is “unable
   to make your localhost server have a public URL” lol I am very new to this localhost.
   
   If you can give me ANY tip how I would really appreciate. TIA Wrian

 * Simply follow my previous advice and skip that step for now, download the backup
   manually to the local server

 * Update: I had to delete everything on my local pc as I was running Sandbox and
   it made a complete mess with everything. No problem I just installed AMPPS and
   WP and now all works perfect.
 * I will read and check some info about your plugin and will dive into it ASAP.
 * Will report later.
