Why is a WordPress backup important?
Creation of WordPress backup is essential for any website owner. Data loss can occur for a variety of reasons, such as server failure, virus infection, human error or hacking attack.
WordPress backup protects against:
- Loss of important information
- The need to re-create content
- Deletion of data by malware
- Site disruption and loss of customers
Ways to create a WordPress security copy
There are a number of methods for effectively creating WordPress backup. We can do this with plug-ins, server-based backup tools or manually.
Plug-ins for backup
Plug-ins are the easiest way to automate backup copia. Popular tools include:
- UpdraftPlus - allows backups to be stored in the cloud or on a server.
- BackupBuddy - full backups and monitoring of site changes.
- VaultPress - backups with automatic restoration of back-up versions.
Manual backup
Manual backups involve exporting the database and site files to a local computer or the cloud. This can be labour-intensive, but gives you full control over the process.
Best practice for backups
To gain full data security, it is worth following a few key principles:
- Regular backups, preferably daily
- Storage of backup files in various locations (e.g. cloud, external drive)
- Test backups to ensure they can be restored if necessary
By adhering to these principles, you minimise the risk of data loss and guarantee a rapid restoration of the site in the event of a disaster.
