Backing up the blog

This article covers backing up your database -and- your files: WordPress_Backups

Might help us help you if you told us what you tried instead of just saying “well, I tried something.” 🙂

Best method, IMO, is to do a backup of the database and save that. If you’re on a host that uses CPanel or anything backend, you should have a built in method to export out and download a copy of the database.

Hope this helps,
