every WordPress update that rolls out, there\u2019s still a slim chance of your site getting hacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress community forum is filled with hundreds of thousands of horror stories of this. You can also find stories of people getting hacked on social media networks like Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is, a lot of WordPress users are now realizing the importance of creating backups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a good example:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WordPress-Hacked-Post.png\" alt=\"Tweet Example\" class=\"wp-image-4553254\" width=\"664\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WordPress-Hacked-Post.png 885w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WordPress-Hacked-Post-300x264.png 300w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/WordPress-Hacked-Post-768x675.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 664px) 100vw, 664px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine if you slacked off on your website\u2019s security and never made a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You will lose all the content you have spent hours creating.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not to mention all the energy and resources you invested in promoting that content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A backup will help you restore your website back to the older \u201ca-day-before-getting-hacked\u201d state with just a few clicks. You won\u2019t even need to hire a developer to remove all the malicious code the hacker might have injected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"create\">The many ways to back up a WordPress website&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are a lot of ways you can go about backing up your WordPress website:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You could backup your WordPress site manually via your hosting account<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can hire a professional or agency to do it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2026or you can use an automatic plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring somebody just to back up your website is expensive, which is why it\u2019s out of the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the two options left, installing a backup plugin on your website is the easiest. But you still might want to manually backup your WordPress site.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you don\u2019t want to buy a premium plugin, or maybe you just don\u2019t trust backup plugins in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the case, here\u2019s something you need to know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A backup created by a WordPress plugin is at least 10 times better than a manual backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Fewer chances of error<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A backup plugin knows when WordPress is in an idle state and not performing any operations on the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This is exactly when you should be creating a backup.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you back up WordPress manually, you might make a backup while WordPress is performing a resource-heavy operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when this happens, your backup process may have some issues with it. When restored, there\u2019s a chance it will break your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Peace of mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want to be the person who constantly thinks about backing up their WordPress website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A plugin will make automatic backups even when you are out on holiday. Heck, it can create automatic backups while you\u2019re busy with other blogging-related tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. A plugin can create backups more efficiently<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a lot you don\u2019t know about WordPress unless you are a web developer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you create manual backups or rely on backup tools from your host, you\u2019re probably creating a lot of bloat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because you could be backing up several copies of files that were unchanged from the previous backup. Long story short, you\u2019re wasting a lot of space on your hosting account\u2019s storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Premium automatic plugins solve this issue through a feature called \u201cincremental backups.\u201d These work by creating regular backups of files that are recently changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A word about free daily backups from web hosts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most web hosts will yell from the rooftops that they offer free daily backups with every plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Free daily backups sound great, right?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real question is: are these backups even reliable?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To be honest, I\u2019d never say yes in a hundred years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most backups made by your web host are created irrespective of what\u2019s happening on your website at any moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If WordPress data is undergoing changes, the backup created might break your website when restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I know this because it has happened to me before.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The instability of the backups is not the only problem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of web hosts offer daily backups for free. But when it comes to restoration, some of them charge a fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most web hosting companies also waive responsibilities when it comes to the reliability of website backups. This is revealed if you read their terms of service or backup policy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bluehost-Account-Backup-Policy.png\" alt=\"Bluehost Backup Policy\" class=\"wp-image-4553255\" width=\"446\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bluehost-Account-Backup-Policy.png 892w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bluehost-Account-Backup-Policy-247x300.png 247w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bluehost-Account-Backup-Policy-843x1024.png 843w, https:\/\/masterblogging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Bluehost-Account-Backup-Policy-768x932.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not saying these are bad web hosts.
