How to Backup your WordPress Database
If you’ve been running a blog or CMS website on WordPress for any amount of time, you’re probably due for a backup of the database. If that scares you, fear not. There are a number of plugins that can assist you in regularly backing up your database.
One that I just came across and have begun utilizing on my sites is the WP-DB-Backup plugin. This plugin allows you to backup your database within the Admin area of your site. Once you have installed this plugin, go to the menu area under Tools and click ‘Backup.’ Here, you will be given the option to save a backup to your FTP area, to your own computer, or have a backup sent to you by email. You can also set the backup to occur daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
This is a great tool to protect yourself should something happen on the back end of your website. At least you will have a backup of all your site content.
