Hmm, as I have told you, my blog database is corrupt and all my past post is gone, and now i need to start new, start to backup my blog data regularly, I know it’s too late but I have learn my lesson. Hmm, but backup data is very important so why I’m not backing up my blog? my answer is because I have slow internet connection and there are so many step to do.
Anyway, let see how to make it easier to backup our blog.
#1 Plugin.
As we know, one of the advantage by using Wordpress as our blog platform is, it have plug-in and there are so many developer that happy to write plug-in for us to use, so let see backup plug-in. You can get it here
As you know this is more easier but there is no warranty for these, so use it as you like.
#2 Manual step
1. Save all wp-content folder by using your FTP.
2. Export your SQL database, by using PHP My admin ah don’t forget to click on “save as file”
Yup that is a simple step, you need FTP tools.
That all folks, really simple step and easy to do, but if you have slow internet connection this will be a hard work (I hate it) So start to save all your work because all these backup will save you and your blog from start it from fresh..

Backing up one’s files is very important and I need to start doing it myself. It will be a terrible thing if I were to lose all my posts and everything else I’ve done. Thanks for the reminder to do this!
Friends 4 Life!
I have a self-hosted wordpress installation, and I use a backup plugin. It basically exports the entire MySQL database once a day and emails it to me as an archive. I then store the most recent archives on my PC. As far as the files go, I have (so far) not worried too much, since the files are really only the look and feel of the blog, and if I lose those, I can always create a new look. But rewriting the content would be a nightmare.
There’s good info here. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog. Keep up the good work mate!
