How To: Backup your WordPress Website on a Schedule

Posted in: Tutorials by Brad Williams on August 24, 2009

A common question among WordPress users is: “How can I backup my WordPress website?”.  To do proper backups, we recommend a plugin called: WP-DB Backup

WordPress Scheduled Backup ScreenshotThe WordPress Database Backup Plugin can be configured to automatically backup all of your WordPress content on a schedule. You can also configure the plugin to email you a copy of the backup after it completes.

Auto-backups can be ran hourly, twice daily, once daily, or once weekly. You can also select which database tables are saved during the backup. If you have old database tables that don’t need a backup you can choose to ignore those during the backup process.

The WordPress Database Backup plugin is a great no worries approach to WordPress backup. Set your scheduled backups and watch as your backup file is emailed directly to you like clockwork!
