    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.
