How to take backup of a wordpress blog?

Guys i just got stuck with couple of my wordpress blogs and need to take the backup. I saw a plugin there "On-demand backup of your WordPress database. By Scott Merrill." I have activated this plugin but no idea how to take back up n all.
Any help regarding this is highly appreciated

and you can specify the location.

Or, use

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/

usually available if you have server access.

 

Go Manage--->Backup--->then download to your computer OR save it on your server OR email it to your email account.

 

Thanks a lot everyone for your help and i am done

 

You are welcome
As you said you've many blogs,doing backups manually would be boring.
If you have cpanel,you could set a cron job and it will back up the databases automatically.You could get more details from here if you want

 

Once again I am thankful to you

 

sometime ago I had problems with the backup plugin, it was leaving some tables out of the backup

if that happens to you just insteall myphpadmin and download the whole stuff manually, you cant go wrong that way

 

gosh, never knew it was so easy to back up a blog
i though might have to do it with cpanel

 

you can use Cpanel to get backups done automatically ... anyways Westhaven is done with the backup

 

Either way is okay.I'd recommend you set up a Cron Job so that they will get backuped automatically.

 

It's also easy even from CPanel. Go to Backups then select db.
