It’s been about 3 month’s times I started my blog (vivivava.com) but I have never think want to backup my blog database. Until I found my friend’s blog (cedricang.com) has been hacked by somebody, then I just started to backup my blog database. Anyway, he just started with his new domain name called goodboygonebad.com, let us give a support to him.
It is very easy to backup your blog database, log on to your hosting control panel, at the main page you will find “Backups” this icon. After clicking on “Backups” icon, you can see “Download a MYSQL database backup”, then you click on the database of your blog that you want to backup to download it.
It is advisable to backup your blog database at least 1-2 times per week. The number of time of backup your blog database is depending on your blog update, the more your update your blog, you should backup your blog database frequently. Anyway, the decision is yours, I let you to decide.
I believe that Cedric has been learned a lesson after his blog is hacked, how about you? Remember backup your blog database before you regret.
NOTE: This backup process is for own hosting only
How about backup for blogspot? Is it the same back up process or it is meant for blog that are been hosted.
Hi flsam, blogspot is hosted by Google, we are unable to backup the database. Perhaps you can contact Google if you need further assistance from Google. (I personally think that we do not need to so worry about the blogspot, it won’t so easy that your data will loss easily)
The backup process discussed in this post is actually for your own hosting (you have pay money to buy one), you have the right the control everything including the database. This is different with blogspot which is hosted by Google.
Thanks for pointing out this question, I think I have to add the note saying that this “backup process is for own hosting”.
if u get hack, that mean u are famous already, haha… correct or not,the problem is i know how to backup, but did not know how to restore it,
May be people hate me ler then I get hack.
Oh Ya, restore the back also easy. You go to the same page, you can find the “Restore a MYSQL database” area one, firstly you browse the file that you have backup before, and then click the “upload” button, that’s all. Easy, right?
