“A comprehensive data backup strategy is vital to your data security. Too many people wait until disaster strikes before they think about a backup. A good backup is an excellent way to protect against viruses, deteriorating hard drives, disasters and human errors. If it would not be cost effective or even possible to re-enter data, then you need a backup strategy.”
Here are my few Tips to prevent your blog by data backup:
There are two different ways to back up WordPress and which one you should use depends on how many plugins you have and how much tweaking you have done.
The easy way is to use the built in exporter in WordPress. This is quite easy to do just login and go to Tools – Export
Click the Download Export File and save it to your computer.Give the special name like “Database” to your folder.
This is easy way but it can save only your content.It can’t save your settings like categories, tags, widgets, and all other settings. It is pre built tool by WordPress.
I am using Data back Up Plugin which is very simple but more powerful plugin.Download WordPress database back Up plugin here: Save Your WordPress Blog’s Data base free
After installing the plugin under tool you will find following link:
Then pick the additional tables you want to download by checking the boxes while holding the shift key. Then click
Check the download to your computer then click Backup now!
Save that file to your computer where you can find it and you are done.
Even you can send your backup directly to your mail inbox.
Now this plugin will allow you to schedule the data base to be emailed to you.
