Ask your host – but it’s very doubtful.
Also, if you are going to upgrade your blog using any auto-script, backup EVERYTHING. Your host will not help you if the upgrade screws things up, so backup now.
How would one backup all the data of wordpress?
Database:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/backup/
Also backup your blog files.
It’s VERY good practice to regularly backup everything on the server. This is such as occasion where doing that isn’t just advised, it’s essential.
i dont have phpMyadmin, im using netfirms.ca hosting. Can somone tell me how i can do this?
Your host really should be able to advise on this – it is a basic hosting requirement. Check their support docs / forum ? Or email their support too.
nvm i found it, silly me.
Anyways, my backup file is only 83Kb. Is that normal?
For a zip or gzip and a new blog, yes.
The default size of the database on install is 174Kb.
You could always get an unzipped version, a zipped versiona and a gzipped one too. You can never ever have too many backups 🙂

When 2.0 becomes available tomorrow, I am wondering if it will also be available via Fantastico?

Thanks for the info macmanx.It took my host months to get 1.5.2 and that only happened after I pestered them about error messages I was getting via Fantastico while installing other programs.
At any rate, I think I’ll be able to install WordPress on my own.
Will it be available Midnight sharp… I’m staying up hoping so, but I’m getting a lil sleepy now… lol.
