After the “disaster ” happen to my site, now I backup my databases daily. But I do it manually. And recently I stumbled to this site on how to automatically backup your wordpress database. The only things that you need are this WP-Cron and WordPress Database Backup. BTW I assumed that you have already install WordPress Database Backup plugin. If not, you need to download the plugin and install it first before you can proceed.
With WP-Cron plugin, you can schedule your wordpress to backup and send the backup file to your email. Here how to do it:
- You need to download this WP-Cron plugin
- Extract the wp-cron.php file into /wp-content/plugins
- Activate the plugin in Plugin panel
- Then go to Manage > Backup
- Make sure Daily in Schedule is checked and type in the email where you want the file will be sent to.
- Tick other tables that you want to include.
- Click Submit.
- Lastly, wait the attached email to your inbox.
Cypher: I must say that this is really great plugin. I really recommend for you all to download and use this plugin. [tags]how to, backup, cron job, plugin[/tags]
Thanks for the info.
In my previous blog I used the wp-dbmanager plugins from gamerz, but when I moved I just can’t use it anymore. Right now I’m using the WordPress Database Backup and I will download the wp-cron later after this.
Thanks.. btw, my site is loading really slow, any suggestion how to make it load faster?
Hmm… better START my own backups soon…. thanks for the tip
