Hello everyone, welcome to Kitu Blogging and in this video I will show you how you can take
0:04
backup of your WordPress website and restore it from your backup. So backup is very important when you especially running a self-hosting WordPress website
0:13
because if you do anything wrong in some process then you can easily fix this problem by
0:19
restoring the recent version of your backup. So I recommend you to take regular backup
0:26
So I generally take daily backup and it will automatically save to my Google Drive account so that I don't have to manually download and upload that
0:35
backup file to WordPress. And you can easily do backup in WordPress for free
0:40
So you don't have to pay any plugin for that. In most of the hosting company charges you some money for daily backup
0:49
But you can use a free plugin to create daily backup and shape it to your cloud storage device
0:55
So let's start the video. So to take backup in WordPress, I will click on plugin section and click on Add New
1:11
And here in the search plugin section I will search for Updraft Plus Now you will see some plugin So I will click on Outdraft WordPress Backup plugin
1:26
So just click on install and now click on activate. Okay, now the plugin is added to our WordPress website
1:38
Let me just click on setting option. Or you can go to the Updraft Plus under the setting and you will see this option Updraved Plus backup
1:51
So here you will see a screen like this. So let me just close this and here you will see a option like Backup Now
2:00
So when you click on Backup Now it will create a backup and shape it to your database
2:06
So let's check how you can set up the automatic backup. So you don't have to manually take backup every time
2:13
So, for this I will go to settings and then here in this case I will click on every 12
2:23
hour or daily so I will prefer to take daily backup so I will click on daily and how many
2:31
backups you want to retain so I will generally retain 5 to 7 backups and I will also take database backup daily and here in this case I will also retain 5 to 7 backups and here in this case I will also retain five backups So when the backup count is six then it will automatically delete the previous backup and
2:50
save the recent five backups on your cloud storage. So in this way you can manage your cloud storage space and you can easily retain five to six
2:59
backups in your cloud storage. So make sure to set this daily and set the number of backups that you will
3:06
want to retain on your cloud storage. After that, here in this case, I will click on Google Drive
3:12
Okay, now just scroll down and let me just click on this, save changes
3:22
Now it will ask you to authenticate this Google Drive, so just click on this, follow the
3:27
link and it will ask you to sign in with your Google account
3:33
So I will click on this Google account here. And I will click on Allow
3:43
Now click on complete setup. Okay, now our automatic backup is saved to Google Drive and as you can see it is showing
3:54
the Google Drive quota usage is 0 out of 15GB So let me just click on dismiss and it has already scheduled the backup So it will take the backup in December 12
4:08
Okay, as you can see, it has now started the backup of our WordPress website and as you can
4:13
see it has already taken a fast backup. Okay, now let's check how can restore your WordPress website using the backup
4:22
So for this, we have to click on this Restore button and it will automatically restore
4:27
your data. So let me just click on Restore button. And here you can select the plugins, theme, upload, or database
4:35
So if you are facing any issue with plugin, then you can simply select the plugin option
4:41
And if you are facing issue with your themes, then you can simply select the theme option
4:45
and leave the rest option. Or if you have mistakenly deleted any images, then you can select the upload option and
4:53
restore that option. And if you want to restore your whole website, then you can select the all of the other website
4:57
option and proceed to the next. So I will click on cancel here
5:01
I hope you got the idea how to take backup on your WordPress website and you can easily
5:06
take daily backups in your cloud storage and you don't have to pay anything for that
