Methods for backing up your WordPress blog site to not stop shaft

You really have to get screwed, right?

Creating a backup of an individual weblog WordPress is among the responsibilities that most people only fire high and normal.

Frankly, I do not understand.

Maybe it's mainly because people think that nothing bad can happen to all of his work that have worked so hard to publish and put in your blog. Due today's technology I think people have the mindset that the Internet hosting companies are so adept with redundancy, along with the backup file of your host will take care of your site.

You have by now left the challenge 'why should the blog, so do not lose all the hard work they have done for her!

No doubt you have determined the question of why, so do not waste all the hard work they have done to her!

I'm certainly not implying that there are no good web hosting companies out there that will run back up websites to your situation because there is. However, let's say something happened to your backups? You're in big trouble, the bottom line. And when data has been blogging ...

What is very easy to backup your WordPress weblog. Plus it will not cost you a penny! Continue reading ...

Instead of writing an article on WordPress Plugins can browse backup of websites that I will support the WordPress plugin I personally use on all my WordPress blogs.

Now, you is free to head to different WordPress.org ins and go back up the plug. Just wanted to show what I use because I prefer it. It is, of course, your choice.

WordPress Database Backup

Backup WordPress database is an effective means for wordpress plugin made by Austin Matzko. WordPress Database Backup creates a backup of your WordPress tables (tables are the facts ... messages, etc ...) as well as other data that you can choose within the same database.

The plug-in is easy to implement. You can load up here at this link: http://austinmatzko.com/wordpress-plugins/wp-db-backup/ and use your FTP program for uploading the WordPress plugin directory.

However, as you may most likely know it today, you can easily download and install plugins directly from your WordPress admin page.

Just go to your WordPress site, then click on the 'Plugins' in the left sidebar and click "Submit" button closure at the top of the page. Then type in "base WordPress data backup "and should be the first result. If not, will be at the top. Then click on install, and proceed to set the plugin.

Here is an important step that should not be neglected. You really have to create a backup of your blog! Trust me, people forget this step! Hey, is as important as creating a blog ... therefore, do not forget this.

Now, you can go in your configuration settings and schedule automatic backups. Despite this, I prefer to back up data manually and then to save my backup as a file. Maybe I'm just weird.

You will see at the top where you can run a backup. The plug-in will notify you as soon as you finish.

What I advise you to do now is save the backup data in a separate place, like a CD-ROM, external storage device if you have one or just a provider like Dropbox. I personally use and simply Dropbox, Dropbox is the best!

My own advice would be to keep multiple backups of your blog. Basically, follow the last 5 backups done in order to be safe. Better safe than sorry ... Right?

That's it. Now the peace of mind that your blog data is safe in the event of a problem and its hosting company goes down. Yes you can say, "Hey, I'm backed man!"
