WP Back-Up??

PROGRAMMING

Is it possible to Back up my entire WP site? I've been messing with the code. I'm concerned I might make unrepairable damage.

I'm finding it irresistible to start tweaking the site.

It would be nice to have a "go back" button.

#backup #word press

  Only backs up the database though. Doesn't back up your themes, plugins, graphics etc.

Check with your hosting provider as well - a lot of hosts (especially ones using cPanel) actually have a backup option that's basically point and click, and it'll back up your files as well as MySQL databases.

I do this from time to time anyway, as I just like to have my site backed up in case my hosting provider goes up in flames.

But it's a VERY good idea to do this before you make any major changes to a site you're currently happy with.

WP-DB-Backup is an easy to use and reliable plugin that I use to backup and clone Wordpress sites. I even have a short guide on how to go about in the WSO section.

  Robert Plank's WP Backup Creator is a good system if you don't want to do the backup manually.

I use wp-clone. Cost me $97 (i have no affiliation with the vendor) but it's been of fantastic use for both backup and also for replicating sales sites.

You only get one shot at life - make it awesome.

Everyone else also gets just one crack at it - help make theirs awesome too... or, politely step out of their way.

I'm using backwpup. It works, you can choose to backup only files, only database or both. It zips and sends you the backup zipped file everywhere you want, even on a cloud, but the most important thing is that some time ago I needed a database restore and everything went well.

  JF... "the most important thing is that some time ago I needed a database restore and everything went well" That is absolutely the most important point! I have seen so much backup crap offered that FAILS when actually used to RESTORE. It does not matter how pretty a plugin or program looks unless it RESTORES properly
  
  Thanks
