I have an article up today at Dabbled on backing up your WordPress site or blog.
Go check it out: Don’t Panic! Understanding and backing up your blog
Excerpt:
So last week I get an urgent message from blogger friend Carissa (GoodNCrazy.com) – She’d had problems with her host, and her blog was down, and she needed help getting a new host and getting her blog back up. Since I’d done her blog theme design, I was familiar with her stuff, and had a backup of her theme. I also recommended my host, Bluehost.com – since I’ve been very happy with them*.
She had a pretty good scare that she’d lost her entire site, so I figured it would be a good idea to share how to avoid going through that kind of panic!
The advice that follows is specifically for self hosted WordPress blogs, but no matter where you host, you need to be doing regular backups!
