Backing Up Your Website And Blog

26 May

Are you backing up your websites?

I realize this subject has been millions of times online but it is still quite surprising how many webmasters fail to back up their websites.

Although you may have your html pages on your pc or at your web designers, there are still all of the other pages and information your site holds to consider.

Information such as

  • Email accounts
  • Blog platforms
  • Forums
  • MySQL databases
  • Statistics
  • And the list goes on…

It is also much quick and easier to extract a backup on your server than to upload the whole site again.

The fact is, not all hosts backup their servers although they say they do! Can you afford to loose years of information, website pages, statistics, etc if your host server crashes or they go out of business?

Here are some free back up scripts, most which will email the back up or notify you when the backup is done.

    On the subject of file backup, sharing and storage …

    Online backup is becoming common these days. It is estimated that 70-75% of all PC’s will be connected to online backup services with in the next decade.

    Thousands of online backup companies exist, from one guy operating in his apartment to fortune 500 companies.

    Choosing the best online backup company will be very confusing and difficult. One website I find very helpful in making a decision to pick an online backup company is:

    http://www.BackupReview.info

    This site lists more than 400 online backup companies in its directory and ranks the top 25 on a monthly basis.
