How often do you take back up of your site?

[yogesh]

I do it almost every day for my database based websites and for static ones I normally edit/create pages offline and only then I upload them to the server, this way I have an offline copy of all of the stuff.

Sadly, I have to say I havent taken a backup of any of my database sites which probally isnt a good thing to put off,

[yogesh]

My suggestion would be to take a backup of your database sites ASAP; you should never trust your host with your data. If by any chance there is a problem with the server then you might just loose all the data you have worked so hard to create.

I backup mine every weekend, although I do forget the odd time. It's always good to have that sense of security that if anything messes up, you have your back up.

I back up if and when the need arises. My site contents are not updated regularly. Besides I make a copy of my contents using my local PC before I upload them into my web site.

I backup my site every week, I m handling only a .info domain, which is of not much importance, but even then I do this once a week !

that is a nice question.

i hardly backup my sites because i forget about that too often.


but at my cms sites i use cron-backups which is very nice and saves some time

I haven't taken the backup of my site either.

But its actually like a blog so whatever I write, I write it it word and then paste it onto the site, so in effect no need for a backup.

I have never made any backup for my site, I think i will make it when it is really needed. Anyways i will make its backup tommorrow.

Well i do every 2 to 3 days and when i am installing a modification or a module because if something goes wrong i can restore it.Also if some hacks my site then i can restore it.
I don't need to do on weekly bases as my hosts does on weekly bases.

I've an ecommerce site so it is daily for me

On my main website i make an automatic backup each day for my database - if something goes wrong, it will be easily restored.
I recommend everyone doing so, as you never know what can happen!

i have a small forum site..so i dont care to take backups..but if i had a huge site..then i wouldnt sleep without backing up because you can never be sure..anything can happen..like some issue with the datacenter or the like..its always best to backup...

I do backup daily.
I've got the wp-backup plugin for my wordpress site. It does a backup and mails to my gmail account automatically everyday.
So i am safe.

I only do mine about once a week. I know... I should do it a bit more often but there is sooo much to update. I wish I just had a Wordpress blog but I have quite a few websites!
