WordPress Users: Backup Your Blog

Today was the first time I’ve actually ever backed up this blog.
Backing up your blog should be done on a monthly basis, just incase anything unexpected happens to your database.
Most issues can usually be fixed anyway but imagine something drastic happened and you lost all of your posts.
All those hard written articles… gone!
I’m lazy when it comes to things like this, type of thing I can never be bothered to get round to doing. But since I also upgraded today thought I may as well get it done.
Went with the easiest possible option for backing up as couldn’t be bothered with the manual method… even though that’s easy to. Anyway…
Check out this plugin – it’s one click download backup:
![]()
Download
![]()
Installation
1. Download zip folder.
2. Upload and extract in the plugins folder in your Wordpress directory.
3. Activate the plugin in the plugin menu on your Admin Wordpress panel.
4. Go to Manage and click Backup, then it’s just a case of a one click download.
Simple as that!
You can either download to your desktop or you can save it to your server for you to grab later.
You can also configure it to send the backup to your email address. You can have scheduled times also, so you could even have a daily backup if you’re paranoid
