Hi guys. I was searching for an easy and simple way to backup my wordpress. I was downloading my content once a week via ftp but the site was growing more and more so i had to find an alternative. After searching for a couples of hours i found a really simple solution that i want to present you here. With a simple plugin you can Backup the whole wordpress with just a few clicks to your dropbox account - and that for free! Here is how you go: Login to your wordpress admin panel. Go to the plugins -> Installation Search for the plugin "Wordpress Backup to Dropbox" and install it When you first access the plugin’s options page, it will ask you to authorize the plugin with Dropbox. A new window will open and Dropbox will ask you to authenticate and grant the plugin access. Finally, click continue and the plugin is ready to backup your files Set a name for your backup and a time when the backup should run Add a frequence (i use the daily one) On the very end you can exclude files (i just excluded a big video) Press Save Changes and be happy, your Site is saved now automatically Hope this helps some guys out there! I love this simple solution, hope you too! Cheers If you like it, you are free to like it
Its a good tutorial. Automated backup is really welcome, who have time to do manual backup every site, every data nowadays!
I did not know that you could do that thanks i really hate taking up space in my pc for my back ups and you never know when a virus is going to strike your pc.
