Hakunamatata, no data loss!

Jan 25, 2010 Author: Isha | Filed under: Website

I’m giving away a .net. Scroll down, babe.

One of the things that worries lots of bloggers is data loss. Thanks to automated backups, we can just write without fretting that we would lose our files. I’ve tried it myself and it oh-so-reliable. :) Maybe most of you have installed these plugins but for those who haven’t, you should really try one of these… or both! hihi

1. WordPress Database Backup – Download
Once installed and activated, you can either download your database to your computer or have it sent to your e-mail address. I’ve scheduled my site’s backup ONCE DAILY and I do receive the database backup on my e-mail address everyday. Here are screenshots just so it’s clearer: Show ▼

2. Online WordPress Backup – Download
Now this defines “convenience”. After you install and activate the plugin, simply create an account on the website, add your domain on the backup list and they’ll automatically backup your database! In case you want to get a copy of your database, just login to your account on the backup site and download. Easy as pie, eh? For clearer instructions, click here.

Oh, this is not a sponsored post, K? I just want to share these stuffs to you guys so you won’t worry about losing your precious website treasures. We’ve all worked hard on our pages so we don’t deserve the data loss drama, do we? hihi

Magpalit ng sim card. Yes :)
It’s actually a good alternative. Yeah, I kinda despise changing numbers because of the contacts, sometimes, they still text you using the old number. :(

wow thanks for the links. I also scheduled my back up once daily. Hmm, I’m also thinking if I will try the second link you gave..I think it’s more safe for me because my another yahoo mail was hacked weeks ago. Hmm…

O_O

I never knew that you can backup everything in your blog because of possible crashes and total erasures of everything…

Never experienced it ever…

must be because I live in a cave…

tnx for the comment anyway. ^^ replied and much appreciated. ^^

I agree. Nobody loves wars. I hate people like Alfred Hitchcock. He was such a bastard. :@
Heheh! I like books too, but I usually don’t buy them. I save money for other things. xD
Oh and thank you. :) I really appreciate it! :D

I hate loosing my content. I usually do back-ups. :)
I want to try the first one. :D But I don’t know really. I’ll try it I guess. :)
Its really good that you are giving away the domain. I would like one more domain, I’m thinking of a portfolio. Lol! xD But eh. xD I know I wont win in http://secretnotes.org contest. I’ll try some luck at my host contest. :D
Lady Impulse January 26th, 2010 at 12:57 am 12

That’s awesome! I usually just import my files from wordpress from the tools section of the dashboard, but I guess this is better considering it’s the WHOLE database and it does it automatically.
Bogcess January 26th, 2010 at 2:59 am 13

Plugins definitely come in handy like this one. I always backup everything before an update. Saves time, money, and ofcourse your precious work. Keep posting!
Kayt January 26th, 2010 at 3:49 am 14

i know :D I love babies! their so much fun and amazing to watch as they grow up :) . aw it’s ok :P my dog seemed to be fine and it wasn’t bothering her too much- she was still her usual self; running and jumping around lol.

I find these plugins very helpful, and I hope I do them right, because I’d be screwed if it wasn’t.. I do get emails, but I have to log in and do it myself even though I have it set to send it once daily… does yours do it automatically? :/
Cat January 26th, 2010 at 4:36 am 15

Ooh, those sound really useful. I might check them out! Right now, I have a calendar event every Saturday to remind myself to back up all of my databases from all my sites.
Simone January 26th, 2010 at 11:15 am 16

These just may come in handy.
Thanksss (:
Natasha January 26th, 2010 at 3:04 pm 17

Ooh. You know I never really think to back up any of my work. Its really sad though.. I’ve lost soooo much hard work in a previous site a long time ago.. So you’d think that I’d smarten up by now haha.. but noooo.

Thanks for links though sweetums =]
jeniffer January 26th, 2010 at 3:23 pm 18

Janice January 26th, 2010 at 4:28 pm 19

Oh thanks for sharing the plugins! I have been looking for this kind of plugin but I can’t find a nice one. I think one of these will work.

It’s so nice of you to giveaway the domain ^_^ Good luck to everyone who joins!

Goodluck sa giveaway domain :) Tc always :)

nice post sis.! Very helpful esp to us. :) Goodluck with that giveaway domain. you must be generous talaga ah haha.
new post pala sis, IDK if nakacomment ka na :)
Senyth January 26th, 2010 at 10:54 pm 23

Those are handy plugins indeed. I actually use the first one. Might as well download the second plugin. XD Thanks!

I know how tough it is to lose your stuffs and your efforts would go down the drain. I can’t access my other site right now and I have a quite large databases there so I’m slightly freaking out right now. The thing is I don’t use WP there. I’ll give it a few days and see if I can access it already. T_T

Goodluck on finding a new home for your lovely domain!
Becca January 27th, 2010 at 2:04 pm 24

HEY GIRL.
My site’s back up! (In transition and I’m still working out the kinks/customizing it to my liking, but its back up :))

Thanks for the visit! I love new visitors :)

Superb post, well written and concise. Keep up the good work.
phyLLz January 28th, 2010 at 12:24 pm 30

oh. I have the wordpress backup one. :) it saved my life, i mean my blog.. oh well.. both my life and my blog! haha

I don’t really know what to say when girls(my friends) break up… since I haven’t experienced it.
for me, I just let my friends cry and move on by themselves. it’s their body and mind, not mine. :) and wait for them to start cracking up again. :)
take care sis! :)
