We put a lot of our time and effort in our blogs, if you’ve been running one for a while you’ll understand what I’m talking about. Your blog becomes your primer interest, your biggest passion and the first thing you think about in the morning. And loosing even one single letter from your work becomes really painful. That’s why the theme of my today’s post should be of the greatest interest for you. Backing up your WordPress powered blog.



Well, there actually are few WordPress plugins to help you do the task.



Wordpress Database Backup

Simple plugin that allows you to schedule automatic daily, weekly or monthly database backups, which can be emailed to you or added to your FTP. There is a drawback of this plugin - it doesn’t give you a simple way to restore your database from the backup.



WP-DB Manager

This plugin gives you a comfortable database management right from your admin panel. Being more complicated than Wordpress Database Backup WP-DB Manager has more features, ‘restore from backup’ feature is among them.



As you see, these two plugins provide back up only for your database. But what about everything else: your precious themes, plugins, images?



Well, there is the WordPress Backup plugin that manages all these valuable elements of your blog and emails the back ups to you.



All mentioned plugins nicely work together and I suggest using them all for more safety.



Are there any other tools you use to back up you blogs?
