I’m sure there have been thousands of posts out there that say this, but I’m damned well gonna say it too.
You MUST backup your blog! I’ve talked to people who never really thought about it or bothered, and then all of a sudden crisis happens, their data is gone, and their precious blog that they spent months on it dead.
I’m entirely familiar with this - it happened to me. Thankfully, it was quite a while ago, while I was still experimenting and I didn’t lose very much. At that time, I decided that regular backups were a must. It’s fairly simple to do, there’s a nice automated backup plugin which does the job nicely - I email myself a copy of my database every morning at the moment, and upload it onto my bingodisk, all good. It’s then saved in 4 places, and I’m sure there is more chance of me becoming the King of England and the president of the US than them all going at the same time.
So yeah, go forth and backup. NOW!
