What is a WordPress backup?

WordPress backup is the process of creating a duplicate of all the data on your website. This includes files, databases, settings and inserts. If anything goes wrong, you will be able to restore your site to its previous state using a backup. In Poznan, as elsewhere, it is important to make regular backups, especially for business websites.

Why should backups be made?

A lack of WordPress backup can lead to the loss of valuable data that is integral to your business. Systematic backups provide protection against:

• Server failures: Even the best servers are not fail-safe. A WordPress backup can quickly get your site back up and running.
• Hacker attacks: Pages that are not regularly updated are particularly vulnerable. A backup allows you to quickly restore a safe version of the site.
• User errors: Sometimes people working on the site can make mistakes. In this situation, a WordPress backup saves the situation.

What items are worth backing up?

An effective WordPress backup should include:

• Page files: All the files that make up your site need to be saved to make sure no one loses the work you put into it.
• Database: The database contains all entries, pages, comments and settings. It is the most important place to protect.
• Plug-ins and themes: Although plug-ins and themes can be reinstalled, it is worth securing them together with the configurations.

Automated WordPress backup - why is it worth it?

By automating the backup process, you can be sure that your data is safe without having to manually run the process. I implement systems in Poznan that set up backups of your site at regular intervals. Here are some reasons why it's worth it:

• No risk of forgetting: Automatic backups eliminate the risk of forgetting to manually create a backup.
• Regularity: Automatic backup settings can be tailored to your needs, e.g. daily, weekly, monthly backups.
• Safety: Automatic backups are often stored in different locations for added security.

How do I set up an automatic WordPress backup?

Setting up a backup may seem complicated, but there are a few steps you can take to make the process as simple as possible:

1. Choosing the right plug-in: There are many plug-ins available in the WordPress repository. Plugins such as UpdraftPlus, BackupBuddy or VaultPress are popular and effective.
2. Schedule configuration: Once the plug-in is installed, select the backup schedule that best suits your needs.
3. Choice of storage location: I strongly recommend storing backups offline or in the cloud (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox).
4. Testing the backup: Regularly test your backups to ensure they are backed up correctly and can be restored.
