How Do I Backup My WordPress Site via FTP?

If you have a WordPress site up and running, it is important to make sure you have a backup in case something happens and you need to restore your site. There are a couple of ways you can backup your WordPress site: via FTP or through the WordPress admin panel.

To backup your WordPress site via FTP, you first need to connect to your site’s server and log in. Then, you need to navigate to the wp-content folder and make a copy of the wp-config.php file. Next, you need to copy the wp-content folder to a safe location, such as an external hard drive.

Finally, you need to make a copy of the wp-config.php file and rename it to wp-config-backup.php. You can then store the backup file securely.

If you have a WordPress site and would like to backup your site through the WordPress admin panel, first make sure you have installed the WordPress plugin BackupBuddy. After you have installed the plugin, you need to go to the BackupBuddy admin panel and click on the “Backup Now” button.

Next, you need to enter the site’s name and select the file types you want to backup. Finally, you need to click on the “Backup Now” button to begin the backup process.
