Because the space was changed, I started to pay more attention to the data. Of course, if you use the space of the CP panel, you can take the trouble to log in to the panel to back up the contents of the entire space. However, if you use a foreign space and your website has rich content, downloading the backup files to your local computer every day is also a headache.
In fact, the database may be more important than the website files. Today I will share a plug-in that I use to automatically back up the WordPress database and send it to the mailbox (provided that your space supports it, you have someone to You will know if there is an email notification when you comment or reply)
Plug-in download address: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/ (recommended official download address)
After downloading the plug-in , of course, uploading the plug-in. You can install the plug-in directly in the background and select the local file, or you can FTP it to the plug-in directory. After uploading, go to the WordPress backend to enable the plug-in. Next, let’s focus on the plug-in configuration.
For the sake of security and convenience, it is recommended that you choose to back up your database every day by sending it via email.
In addition, some friends have found that the database backup plug-in sent to the mailbox is very small. In fact, there is no need to worry. This is indeed a complete database backup, but the size is smaller after compression. Take this blog from Hao VPS for example. The size of the database is almost 6MB, but the backup compressed package is only over 700 KB!
