Backing Up Your WordPress Site
-
There are two parts to backing up your WordPress site: Database and Files.
-
- WordPress Core Installation
- WordPress Plugins
- WordPress Themes
- Images and Files
- JavaScript and PHP scripts, and other code files
- Additional Files and Static Web Pages
Your WordPress site consists of the following:
-
The database contains your posts and a lot of data generated on your site
-
Most hosts back up the entire server, including your site, but it takes time to request a copy of your site from their backups, and a speedy recovery is critical. You need to learn how to back up your own site files and restore them.
-
Here are some methods to backup your site files:
- Website Host Provided Backup Software
- Most website hosts provide software to back up your site. Check with your host to find out what services and programs they provide.
- Create Sync With Your Site
- WinSCP and other programs allow you to sync with your website to keep a mirror copy of the content on your server and hard drive updated. It saves time and makes sure you have the latest files in both places.
- Copy Your Files to Your Desktop
- Using FTP Clients or UNIX Shell Skills you can copy the files to a folder on your computer. Once there, you can zip or compress them into a zip file to save space, allowing you to keep several versions.

Database Backup Instructions
-
Back up your WordPress database regularly, and always before an upgrade or move to a new location
-
Automatic Backups
Various plugins exist to take automatic scheduled backups of your WordPress database. This helps to manage your backup collection easily. You can find automatic backup plugins in the Plugin Browser on the WordPress Administration Screens or through the WordPress Plugin Directory.

an88zi"Your WordPress database contains every post, every comment and every link you have on your blog. If your database gets erased or corrupted, you stand to lose everything you have written. There are many reasons why this could happen and not all are things you can control. With a proper backup of your WordPress database and files, you can quickly restore things back to normal. "

- Select All the tables, and check the SQL radio button.
- Check the "Add DROP TABLE" box. (This can be useful for over-writing an existing database.)
- Check the "Add IF NOT EXISTS" check box. (This prevents errors during restores if the tables are already there.) You can optionally check the "Complete inserts" box. (Though it won't matter too much if you don't.) You can optionally check the Extended Inserts if you wish. (This gives a smaller, but less readable, output file.)
- Check the "Save as File" box
- Check the "None" for compression. If your database is very large use a compression method.
- Click Go. The data will now be saved into your computer.
