For many years I have been using computers, internet and blogging, the number ONE fear in any all of us as computer users, doesn’t matter what you do in internet or with your computer, the one thing that we always fear of is “NEVER BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!”

I have many experiences on this BACKUP things…

True Story No 1 : I lost my laptop before during my schooling days - the worse thing in my mind when the moment I found my laptop was stolen is all my important project and report files in my hardisk … GONE!

True Story No 2 : My desktop was hang and the “Blue Screen Of Death” appear! The next thing is to re-format the PC, and the worse thing in my mind again, I did not backup my files!

True Story No 3 : One of my blog been hacked by some “novice” hackers, and they changed my main page into their “Pirate Face Logo”, and the moment I saw this, I never backup my blog!

That’s my real experiences for all these years, and I wouldn’t want you to experience the same thing like me. So, back to the point, this is extremely important - BACKUP YOUR WORDPRESS BLOG ALWAYS!

Wordpress is built using MySQL database and PHP platform. All data, the posts, pages, links, comments, plugins settings, blog settings, users data are stored in your MySQL database. Therefore, the most important thing to backup your blog is to backup the blog MySQL databse.

But many of us are not Programmer, might not know how to backup MySQL database. Therefore, there is a plugin that you can use to help you backup your MySQL databse, even you know nothing about MySQL!

The plugin to use is Wordpress Databse Backup by Austin Matzko.

You can downlod the plugin from here. Install and activate the plugin as usual. You can read the documentation of this plugin from here.

After that, go to Manage then Backup and you can edit the settings according to your preferences. Check all the tables.

For me, I set the plugin to send me the databse file to my email once weekly.

Even your blog been wiped off one day when you wake up in one morning, you still can recover your blog with all the years and years of content into fresh install!

So, take ACTION NOW! Download the plugin, install, activate and BACKUP!
