# Trying to cache to s3 and clone sites

 * I’m using multisite w3 total cache with AWS S3 to hold all my wordpress assets.
   I’m also using the MultiSite Clone Duplicator plugin to clone an existing template
   site already with assets for a new customer. The site gets cloned, but none of
   the assets make it up to w3 S3, even if I clien on the “export media library”
   button in the core wordpress site. Any ideas why this might happen?
 * NOTE: All sites other than the core wordpress site show “community” mode without
   export media library options.
 * I’m using
    WordPress 4.7.3 PHP 5.3.29
 * Overall I need to be able to park assets in S3 and easily close sites. If there
   is a better solution, I’m all ears.
 * Thanks

 * I don’t know if you’re having the same issue as we are, but our solution (as 
   of now) is to roll back. they broke it with this release and have as of yet not
   even responded to the threads talking about it (weeks ago)
 * take a look and see if you’re having the same issue.

 * Ugh, that’s no good. Sounds like you haven’t found a good alternative, which 
   was going to be my next question :).
 * I started to think of other alternatives. We use nginx in front so caching isn’t
   an issue, but if we ever want to horizontally scale the server farm then there’s
   going to need to be some sort of asset replication. This is obviously off topic:),
   but part of the big picture.
 * I’m starting to think something like [https://www.gluster.org/](https://www.gluster.org/)
   would be worth looking at to help with asset (images, themes, etc) replication.
 * Have you thought of anything different outside the box?
