    Hello,

    What is the difference between WordPress backup made from FTP and PhpMyAdmin?

    Is backup made from FTP is sufficient to restore WP website in case of problems?

    Thanks!

    The main difference between the two is that PHPMyAdmin will make a backup of your data. So, all your posts, pages, settings, that sort of thing.

    With FTP you can make a backup of your site’s code. And most importantly, any custom code you may have in the form of themes, plugins, and wp-config.php settings.

    Ultimately, you will need both backups to restore a WordPress site.
