DISQUS

I have an automatic backup that does it everyday. I get my nightly email with my backup attachment. I've read too many horror stories!

One time I was porting my blog to another host provider and thought I had deleted my database files by accident. I had not properly backed up my files (*slapping side of my head*) and my heart stopped for a moment when I feared my files could be gone forever. Luckily the provider was able to retrieve them.

Note to self: Back up files! :roll:

Random Tip: If you accidentally delete a few posts, you may be able to retrieve them from Google cache...just found that out the other day.

Feel free to share your method. Is it a plugin?

This is the plugin I use: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/

It emails me with my database daily as as I use Gmail, that acts as offline storage. A couple of days ago I wanted to setup an offline version of my blog so I could fiddle around with the theme and this backup came in really handy - I just imported the sql and viola - instant offline blog! Just another benefit to backing up...

I have been hearing a lot about this hacking recently!!

Is there a way to backup Blogger blogs?

Man, that must really suck for Lee. I would kill myself if that happened to me... nah, I really wouldn't. But I'd be so pissed if someone like that just took over what I've worked so hard on. Good thing I don't use an online blog manager like WordPress for my blog.

I am backing up my database using the backup app from my webhosting. Do I still need to backup using this plugin?

Always a timely reminder to BTFU my posts.

Having our databases backed up is really important as we can't predict these childish act nowadays.

I do agree with you that they have no creativity with their designs and all they can do is to ruin Turkey's reputation by using Turkey's flag design as their logo. :mad:

I use WP-DatabaseBackup. It's very easy and sends my backup on email daily (or weekly). I also backup my uploads directory once every two weeks or so. I never had any problem till now, but I'm way too small to attract hackers attention now :P

I've never had a problem with being hacked before, I did have a problem of me accidentally deleting a database one time, now that was kinda bad ;)

Thanks for the reminder to backup my blog... the plugin that Caroline suggested sounds good if you need an email of the backup. Scott
