Backing up your SuperBlog is a lot like buying insurance, you know you should but it’s one of those things you put off because nothing has happened yet which surely means you don’t need it. But on one of those very rare times when your blog has a critical failure, or you lose some, or even all of your data, you’ll soon wish you had!
Backing up your SuperBlog is really quick and easy and completely free through your SuperBlog Hosting control panel. To make sure you always have the latest version of your site we strongly recommend you back up your SuperBlog using this facility whenever you make a change to your blog.
As with our web files back up service through eXtend, you can also back up your MySQL databases in eXtend with just one click!
For the more advanced users, you can also download and store a local copy of your database through phpMyAdmin using the ‘Export’ function.
Backing up your SuperBlog and databases literally takes a couple of clicks of the mouse and can save a lot of pain and heartache down the line! Why not setup a reminder on your phone or in Outlook so you don’t forget to run a backup.
