Backing up the Wordpress database

BackUpWordPress plugin installation

This article explains how to have your WordPress database automatically backed up. This is easy to ensure that you can always restore the situation. We are going to use a plugin for this that can be easily downloaded and installed through the wordpress admin. This plugin is called BackupWordpress. And can be downloaded here or from the admin: BackupWordpress

We also have a tool in the control panel that makes a backup of your entire hosting space, this can be set up using the following article.




For this plugin you need to give the wp-content folder write permissions. This can be set up in the following way . Only perform the first step to set the write permissions.

After this you can specify the backup settings under Tools -> Backups.




You can adjust the settings to your wishes. We recommend you to do this every week or every day. This way you are always up to date with the latest changes.



All backups made by the plugin will be saved in the wp-content folder.

If you have any questions you can contact the helpdesk of MijnHostingPartner.nl, this can be done through the online chat or by sending a ticket to the helpdesk.
