You can avail\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crazydomains.com.au\/wordpress-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WordPress hosting services<\/a>\u00a0and automate everything from backups to website management.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Step 2: Backup Using a Plugin<\/h3>\n<p>There are various backup plugins, including a WordPress plugin, that help you automate your backup processes. However, you might need to pay a minimal amount to purchase the plugin. Some plugins also provide real-time backup, especially for e-commerce websites.<\/p>\n<p>Popular plugins for maximum reliability are UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, and VaultPress. You can follow the following steps to use UpdraftPlus:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Install the Plugin first:<\/strong>\u00a0Open your WordPress dashboard, select\u00a0<em>Plugins &gt; Add New<\/em>, and search for UpdraftPlus. Click \u2018<em>Install Now<\/em>\u2019 and \u2018<em>Activate<\/em>\u2019.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Configure Settings:<\/strong>\u00a0Go to your\u00a0<em>Settings &gt; UpdraftPlus Backups<\/em>. Choose a backup time that you&#8217;re okay with (daily or weekly), and select the files and data that you wish to backup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choose a Storage Location:<\/strong>\u00a0Select a remote storage location like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3 to store your backups securely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Initiate Backup:<\/strong>\u00a0Click the \u2018<em>Backup Now<\/em>\u2019 button to initiate your first backup process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Always check your backups&#8217; schedules to ensure they\u2019re all being backed up timely and secure. Opting for backup automation can rid you of this extra responsibility.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Step 3: Manual Backup Using cPanel<\/h3>\n<p>In manual backups, you can backup your data regardless of your access to the WordPress dashboard. You can manually backup data with more control using cPanel. Usually, WordPress files and databases are backed up separately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Backing Up Files:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Log into cPanel:<\/strong>\u00a0Log into your cPanel account on your hosting provider\u2019s interface.<\/li>\n<li><strong>File Manager:<\/strong>\u00a0Navigate to File Manager and locate the root directory of your WordPress site ( usually \u2018public_html).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compress Files:<\/strong>\u00a0Select\u00a0<em>all files and directories<\/em>, right-click, and choose the option \u2018<em>Compress<\/em>\u2019. Download the compressed file to your preferred computer location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Backing Up Database:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>phpMyAdmin:<\/strong>\u00a0In your cPanel, select phpMyAdmin and go ahead with selecting your WordPress database.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Export Data:<\/strong>\u00a0Click the \u2018<em>Export<\/em>\u2019 option and select the \u2018<em>Quick<\/em>\u2019 export method.

This option also gives you more features like one-click restores, staging environments, and reliable security.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check your hosting plan:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure you verify if your hosting plan offers you automatic backups. Widely used managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine, SiteGround, and Kinsta offer excellent backup solutions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Configure your backups:\u00a0<\/strong>In order to set your backup schedules and retention periods, log in to your hosting dashboard and navigate to the backup section.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restore backups:<\/strong>\u00a0Get more familiar with the entire backup process, which includes selecting a backup and clicking a \u2018<em>Restore<\/em>\u2019 button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><em><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0Is your host\u2019s backup tool not storing the backups separately? In that case, always download a copy of your backups to your local computers for more security.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Testing and Maintaining Your Backups<\/h2>\n<p>Creating backups is an easy process, but there\u2019s more to it. You need to make sure the backup you\u2019re relying on is actually functional and secured. Furthermore, you can also encrypt your data and use password protection for stronger data safety.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><em><strong>Pro Tip:\u00a0<\/strong>You must schedule regular tests of your backups, especially after any site changes or updates.
