ViciHub · 28/05/2023

Description

This course aims to equip you with the knowledge to create a reliable backup system for your WordPress sites and guide you through the process of restoring your site from those backups, should the need arise. The goal is to ensure that the backup process is swift, effortless, and error-free.

In this comprehensive course, we will build an ALL-IN-ONE BACKUP SOLUTION without relying on any plugins. Instead, we will create a server-level backup solution that efficiently backs up your database and site files either to the hosting server or a remote server.

Once set up, the entire backup process will be automated, requiring no manual intervention on your part. Additionally, we will provide detailed instructions on correctly restoring a WordPress site from the backups we generate.

Maintaining backups of your site is of utmost importance as they serve as a safety net, allowing you to swiftly restore or roll back your site to its original state in case of any unforeseen disasters.

There are several scenarios where having a WordPress backup proves invaluable:

  1. Server crashes: In the event of a storage device failure, you can reconfigure the server and restore your site from a backup stored on a remote server.
  2. Compatibility issues: If updates cause compatibility problems, you can easily roll back to an earlier version of your site and restore both the site files and database from the backup.
  3. Accidental content deletion: If content is accidentally deleted from your site, restoring the latest backup will bring back the lost content.
  4. Hacking incidents: If your site gets hacked or defaced, you can delete the compromised site files and database and restore them from a backup to resolve the issue.

While backup plugins are commonly used, they introduce additional vulnerabilities to your site and may slow down its performance. It’s essential to minimize plugin usage to reduce potential risks. Server-level backups, on the other hand, leverage tools available on the server and offer faster and more secure backup options compared to plugin-based alternatives.

By the end of this course, you will have a robust backup solution in place, safeguarding your WordPress sites from potential disasters and giving you peace of mind in knowing that your valuable content is protected. Avoid jeopardizing your sites and learn how to implement a reliable server-level backup strategy today!
