Hello People ! Imagine losing all your work on your blog or even some hacker jumping at your blog. Would be scary ! I want to ask whats the best way to abck yp your whole blog ? Also im with blogger ! Please shed some light. Thank you in advance.
Blogger should have a built-in backup or "export" feature that gives you something like an XML file. But most self-hosted blogs (like from Wordpress.org) contain pretty much everything in a SQL database, and you can back that up via PHPMyAdmin every so often. That's the way to go.
I've just recently started my blog, so I don't have much, but all the posts I've put in contain over 20 hours of work and I would probably cry if those were lost. I backup my entire sever network daily, that's over ten 50GB harddrives.
With blogger you can save a copy of your xtml file. That's easy. What I do is subscribe to my own blog. I save all the posts in one of my email folders so, if necessary, I could recreate it. Would be tedius, I know, but better than having nothing.
i backup weekly. i use a plugin to automatically backup my wordpress databse. the plugin will send the backup to your email address weekly
Ah thanx for the replies ppl. Keep them coming ! Security is a big issue when blogging or running a website i believe.
Auto Weekly backup of my all WP blogs using WP Backup Plugin. Easy to use. Blog owner must aware of that. DON.
