Question re: Backups
-
Hello,
I’m a newcomer to WordPress (and php in general). In fact, I’m not a techie at all – and pretty much learn by trial and error and reading 😉
I have a book (WordPress Complete) – and I’m trying to upgrade from WP 2.1.3 to the new version (2.2)
The instructions ask me to do several steps:
1. Backup the WP database
2. Backup the WP files
3. Deactivate plug-ins
4. Delete old files except for specific folders, etc.
and then upload the new files and run the upgrade.Here’s my question: does this backup program (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/) accomplish both of the first two steps? Or, does it accomplish only the first step (like phpMyAdmin, which I don’t have nor know how to use) and can I then use a program like CuteFTP to download and backup the files themselves.
Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
