Sometimes we would like to have a backup copy of our WordPress installation in a simple and quick way to avoid data loss, server issues, moving installations, updates, etc.

 

To create a backup of our blog, we have the WordPress "Export/Import" tool available.

 

To access this tool, log in to the administration panel of your installation (http://domain.com/wp-admin).

 

Once inside the administration panel, in the "Tools" section, you will find the options "Export" and "Import".

 

 With this option, we create a downloadable .xml file, which is a copy of our WordPress site. Keep in mind that when exporting data, you can limit the posts or pages to export by filtering by author, date, etc.

 

 

In the "Import" option, we can incorporate the data from a backup previously created using the "Export" option.

 

Select WordPress and the plugin installation will begin.

 

Click "Install Now" to install the plugin.

 

Once the plugin is installed, click "Activate Plugin and Run Importer".

 

With the plugin activated, you only need to locate the .xml file to import (the blog backup) and click on "Upload file and import" to load the data.
