    Hi Edmund, I joined Wealthy Affiliate over a month ago and started blogging using WordPress. I have no regrets, believe me, I have learned so much since. I went to become a premium member after a week!

    This article has helped me as I am a novice and I am wondering where is my website contents stored and how can I back it up in case something went wrong.

    Thank you for creating this simple tutorial for novices like me!

      Hi Steve, thanks for your testimonial of Wealthy Affiliate!

      Your website content is stored at your website host’s servers. ManageWP worked as a third party software to backup your website contents to a location of your wishes, such as Dropbox, or store them at ManageWP’s cloud. Hope this clarifies your doubts.

      I am glad that this article has created values for you.

    Edmund,

    Very informative page about the backup. I like that you give the step by step process since it can be confusing sometimes with plugins.

    Do you know if there are any totally free programs that allow you to backup your WordPress information?

    Sounds like Manage WP is very reputable I was just wondering.

    Does the performance of this plugin slow your site down that you can tell?

    Also very cool link to the Manage WP site, I am going to check it out.

    Thanks for the great info!

      Hi Dave, thank you for your comment.

      I came across a free WP Plugin for backing up WordPress but it doesn’t seem to work well. The backup schedule I created did not run a single time. I gave up and I look for an alternative. ManageWP is the best I could find so far.

      All my backup scheduled at ManageWP is backup at ManageWP’s cloud on a daily basis. The best thing is it did not even slow down my Site at all. I can work normally as I would when writing my articles.

      Check out the free trial version first. I am sure you’ll find it impressive.

      Wishing you the best!

    Hi Edmund,

    That’s a nice article and quite helpful to readers researching for and seeking quality information on management of WordPress as a CMS system and especially how to back a site up.

    Are there any free WP plugins that you recommend that could do the same job?

    Many blessings and success in achieving all your 2016 goals and plans!

      Hi Boniface, thanks for your comment.

      Yes, in fact, there are free WP plugins, however, I do not recommend any currently as I have personally tried a few but they did not work as I had expected. One did not even start any backup even I had scheduled it properly.

      I recommend you trial ManageWP for 14 days free. You be impressed with their user-friendly interface and backup reliability.

      Wishing you Success too!

    Never thought about backing up my website. But your article does trigger the experience of a harddisk crash, but I’m in luck as I’ve backup my precious data on an external hard drive.

    I guess I must place equal importance on my website as well. Just a quick question, isn’t website backup service provided by the webhosting service we signed up?

      Hi, Kenny.

      I am glad that you had backup your precious data on an external hard drive. 🙂

      You are right, most of the web hosting companies do provide backup service, some charging additional cost to your regular payment. You have to double check with the hosting companies for details.

      However, Wealthy Affiliate is one hosting company I know that provides free backup service. Not only backup is free, it also includes free anti-spam, free SSL certificate to secure your website and free 24/7 site supports! If you are looking for one, do head down to Wealthy Affiliate to find out more.

      Wishing you the best!
