# backup wordpress.com hosted site

 * i’ve searched around, and found no information on how would one keep a local 
   backup of everything (db, files) from a blog, hosted on wordpress.com.
 * wordpress.com is pretty much devoid of any useful content. all other forum posts
   and articles only talk about a locally hosted wordpress instance (or at best 
   one where plugins could be installed), but none of that applies to wordpress.
   com hosted stuff.
 * so how could i have a backup of everything (both for free and paid blogs) that
   i could easily run into a locally hosted wordpress, in case the parent company
   turns evil or something else happens ?

 * Are you considering setting up WordPress locally using a local web server?

 * oh, no – the question was about wordpress.com hosted one.
    Ravi, thanks – i didn’t
   notice that there are separate forums for hosted/downloadable and got confused.
   thanks for clearing that up, will head there 🙂
 * a bit more on-topic, if somebody has successfully migrated from a wordpress.com
   hosted instance into a locally hosted one, i’d be interested in hearing about
   that experience.
