Is this Fail Safe?
Note: I have a few websites only each hosted on different hostgator accounts.
This is for wordpress only
- I export all the content from my website using the wordpress export to xml option. It exports everything starting from posts, pages to comments. I do this once a week for ech of my websites.
- I have copies of the themes I use on each website.
The idea is ... if for some reason my website security is compromised or is hacked, I can simply get a new hosting account (change domain nameservers to that host) and install wordpress on it. I can then import my wordpress xml backup for that site. I then have to upload my theme and my website is back up. It takes just 30 mins if you know what you're doing.
I think this would be way faster than
- trying to figure out which files on your server are compromised
- trying to contact your host to back up your files.
For someone who has more than one website on the same host, it may not be applicable. Since I own only a few large wordpress websites, I feel it is a good enough option for me.
