Add VIP production site content for local development

SQL database

• Full SQL database backups for VIP Platform environments can be downloaded on demand in the VIP Dashboard. Backups include custom tables, and are suitable for use in a local development environment.
• For environment’s with Database Backup Shipping enabled, shipped backups include custom tables and are suitable for use in a local development environment.
• Downloaded SQL databases can be imported to a VIP Local Development Environment with the vip dev-env import sql command.
• Hourly backups by VaultPress of a site’s SQL database include only wp_-prefixed tables and are intended for use in local development environment.

Media library

• Media Library Exports for a VIP Platform WordPress site can be accessed in the VIP Dashboard.
• VIP Local Development Environments can redirect media requests to a site’s production environment by creating the local environment with the  --media-redirect-domain parameter.
• For other local development applications, a site’s production media library can be mirrored by using a stage file proxy plugin. This approach enables media files newly added to production to be available to the local environment on-the-fly and to avoid needing access to extremely large and time-consuming media export files.
