Backup WordPress

Here's a link that describes
how to backup wordpress:

How to back up your
WordPress blog in 60 seconds


Apparently Wordpress has some
kind of export function. I think
this may be a plugin but I'm not
sure. I'm learning as I write.

In the above link, someone left
a comment saying that you are
better off using Cpanel for backups.
Does Cpanel backup both the database
and the other content? Again, I'm
not sure.

Here's a Wordpress plugin that claims
it can be used to do complete backups
of both the database and the other
content:

BackUpWordPress

Here's someone who says there are 2 sides
to a WordPress backup:

  • code side
  • database side

Here's where he mentions
the 2 sides:

Code side and database side

This makes sense. Your blog
writings probably go into a
database. The templates are
probably code. You would need
to backup both sides.

It seems that there are 2 sides
to everything: a front side and
a back side; a inside and an outside.

WordPress seems to be no different.
It has 2 sides as well. It has a code
side and a data side.
