How can I clone a site with Timeline Backups?
Timeline Backups allow you to restore data between hosting packages, making them an ideal tool to assist with 'cloning' websites in your account.
For example, if you wanted to clone example.com into a package called example-clone.com:
- Set up an empty package with domain name example-clone.com
- Head to the Timeline Backups Manager
- Click Restore next to the example.com package
- Select a snapshot date from the calendar view
- Select a timestamp from the Select Snapshot dropdown box
- Set the target package to be the example-clone.com package
- Start the restore by pressing the Restore Snapshot button

The control panel will show you when the restore is in progress. Navigating away from the page will not cancel the restore, and you can view any previous jobs by heading towards the Recent Activity section at the bottom of the Timeline Backups overview page.
