Anyway, I met up with my boy today and he told me not to worry as my site is already backed-up with cPanel together with his other sites. So, problem solved. Nevertheless, he suggested that I continue with the 'Export' task that I've started following your advice. Thank you so much for your kind response which is much appreciated. God bless you! Hi Dave,

So you always do a full backup. The file name of the backup .tar file will have the date in it so you can see when it was taken. Every time you do a full cpanel backup a new .tar backup file with a different name (because of the date part) is created. You only need to delete the old ones if you get short on storage space. Hope that helps... @ Keith – These are full backups, not incremental. So you always do a full backup. The file name of the backup .tar file will have the date in it so you can see when it was taken.

Thanks to you, I've just 'Export' my posts/pages as you've advised - easily done as I just discovered this feature under 'Tools' at site-admin (hmm....didn't know its existence before, what a dummy I am?) Now, to backup my site with cPanel - I just don't know how-to even though your instructions seemed quite simple. Reason being, I just can't find the cPanel to login..where is it located, at site-admin? Please help as I'm not that technie-savvy at all but very keen to learn and improve. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot! Hi Dave,

How would I do incremental backup with my files. Like sync my backup files with current website. Do I have to run full backup (weekly for example) then delete the old backup from my home folder then generate a new backup and so on? I just did full backup.

You will need to get your web host tech support to restore your site from one of these full backup files as you cannot do this yourself from within cpanel. Only delete the files from the server if you need the space.

It is different than the full cpanel backup in that it only backs up the database and not the whole of your Wordpress installation like cpanel can. However, having a regular copy of your database sent to you is a good strategy because once you set it up you can forget about it and the only downside is that it does not backup any images you have uploaded into Wordpress, as these are not saved in the database, but in the wp-content/uploads folder.

My host uses cpanel, which I used for setting up my Wordpress website. This looks like a great way to do a full backup. What is the .tar.gz extension that the saved file is saved as? Plus... is the file left on your host server, taking up disk space. Would it be better to delete it from the host server? Powerful stuff.
