Hi Guys,

 

I wanted to find out how you guys go about backing up your WordPress database and files. What do you rely on when **** hits the fan?

 

Couple of ways, depending on what's most convenient to you.

 

There is a plugin that auto backups your database and sends an email with a zip attachment.

 

You should also have server backups of your databases if you are in a typical hosting environment.

 

You can manually export your posts infrequently or frequently.

 

Failing that you can bypass WordPress post and page management entirely and hard code the copy in static files.

 

 

w.e. works for you.

Anyone else? I'm working on a plugin called WP-InstantBackup with a friend....getting some ideas what people prefer to do.

We provide a WordPress and website backup service called, myRepono. Our WordPress plugin is available via the WordPress.org plugins directory under the name, myRepono WordPress Backup Plugin. Or you can use the service without WordPress by visiting myRepono.com.

 

myRepono offers remote backup storage as a commercial service, rather than local backup storage which is equally important...

I use Wordpress Back Up to backup my database and then email it to me.

Also you can make data base back up using your Cpanel.

Since my website is fairly small, I choose to backup the manual way.

Backup my files with FTP, backup my database from the cpanel phpmyadmin.

Along the way, I used a wordpress backup plugins called wp-backup.
