Just Open your FTP and Download Everything that you have in the public_html folder.That will take care of all your Files.(including images or any other media). </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/best-way-to-backup-wordpress-posts#post-5044 Wed, 18 Mar 2009 21:32:17 +0000 Anonymous 5044@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>hi sparx,<br /> thanks for your reply . i am replying late as could not back up the data till now. i used the wp database backup plugin and downloaded the database. but again i think this does not backup the images as the file size is so small and i have large amount of images on the blog. the Codex i could not use since it is too techie for me ( i am not a techie !) .<br /> i can use FTP but pl let me know what would be the exact way of downloading everything on your blog with FTP </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/best-way-to-backup-wordpress-posts#post-5004 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:33:55 +0000 Anonymous 5004@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Well...you need to do two things:</p> <p>1. Copy over ALL the files in your blog's directory and any other directories containing images/scripts/ any other content.</p> <p>2. Make a full backup of the WordPress database. <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database" rel="nofollow">More info @ the codex</a>.</p> <p>You can use FTP to copy over the required files and you can make use of the <a href="http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup" rel="nofollow">WP Databse Backup plugin</a> to perform the backups and if the file(s) isn't too large in size, also to email them to you, so you have an off-site backup too. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/best-way-to-backup-wordpress-posts#post-5002 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 12:03:22 +0000 Anonymous 5002@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Some of the generic way to back up a blog is provided here</p> <p><a href="http://smashtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/8-best-way-to-backup-your-blogs.html" rel="nofollow">http://smashtech.blogspot.com/2008/09/8-best-way-to-backup-your-blogs.html</a> </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/best-way-to-backup-wordpress-posts#post-4999 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 09:34:03 +0000 Anonymous 4999@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Wordpress.org self hosted blog posts can be backed up by exporting the file .But it is not the best way to backup everything you have on your blog including the theme changes that you may have done. What is the best way to do it so that in case of a crash, you can restart your blog immediately with all settings intact </p>
