WordPress Tools Export

Every day you work on your website you should do a quick and easy backup using Tools Export to back up your content. It only takes a few seconds and it could save you a lot of heartache. This process does not back up your images, other media, plugins or themes. I recommend other methods for complete backups.


In order to prove the effectiveness of this procedure I backup up my content, deleted all the posts and pages and emptied the trash. All posts and pages were permanently deleted. I don't recommend doing this - I just did it as a demonstration.


WordPress Tools Import

Of course using Tools Export would be a fool's exercise if I didn't know how to Import again. If you ever use Tools Import to restore your content please remember to deactivate the plugin after it's done its job.

Thank you Marion.
I will also give FTP a go.
Also, how do you backup onto an external hard drive, for example?

To back up to an external hard drive just create your local folder on your external drive. OR back up to your C: drive and copy it across afterwards. I like to keep backups on 2 hard drives plus a USB drive. But then I'm a little paranoid :)
