How To Backup Wordpress
Posted on November 21, 2006, under Development.
Backups are important, very important. If you don’t think so, do not wait until you have lost your critical information before your convert. You should approach backups in a way of “What would I need in order to get back up and running?” The answer to this question will vary depending on what is important to you.
There are many ways to backup Wordpress. Hopefully your web host has a backup routine for your server and backups often. If you do not know, I would ask. Web host backups will most likely be of your entire server in some sort of archive. This is an efficient way of backing up, however when you are overhauling a blog or just want a backup in case you need to roll back; sifting through an entire server backup can be tedious. Backup Plugin for Wordpress gives you a simple and effective way to backup your Wordpress installation. I am not sure if I would recommend this over an automated and more robust method, but it really is handy for those redesigns or the occasional backup scenarios.
