site backup · **Released**: 07-14-2007

If I choose a host that does not backup my site is it easy to do it myself? I imagine I want to back up my site on my local HD so if anything ever goes wrong with my host I will be protected.

Thanks,

back your DB using MySQL dumper. It will save a copy of the DB on your FTP. You can then download a copy to your local HD for redundancy.

encryption,

This is going to sound like a dumb question but...where do I place the MySQLDumper folder? When I am using my FTP program and looking at my site would I place the folder right under my sites IP address or in the Public Folder? If I place the folder under my IP address then it will be in the same level as my .cpanel, access logs, ect? I am new to this so I don't want to place my database backup program in a spot that would vunerable to attacks.

Thanks in advance!!!

Best way is go for a host which has weekly backups and I dont think that will cost you any extra. Your database will be safe this way.

my host get daily backups ( mysql ) and keep them 10 days on their servers.
But i am still getting my own backups by mysqldumper....

You put it in the forums folder, but doesn't really matter it can be in the root too.

yes you can put the folder anywhere in the public_html / www folder
