WordPress Blog’s use MySQL Database to store whole information like your blog posts, comments, etc. If you’re a Professional Blogger then you’re constantly updating your blog with at least 4 blog posts a day and this data directly stored in MySQL database which you don’t want to lose at any condition, so its necessary for you to keep up the regular backups of your data to protect it from any loss or damage. Already I had covered a lot on database from installing to deleting a database by using PHPMyAdmin. Now, this post focus on “how-to back-up the WordPress Database By Using PHPMyAdmin”.
Step1: Login into cpanel and click on PHPMyAdmin as shown below:
Step2: Now select WordPress Database and click on “Export” button as shown below:
Step3: Now click on “Select All” to choose all the tables which located in database.
Step4: Now click on SQL option on right hand side and save the file locally, you can choose the compression type and after choosing out click on “Go” button to download it locally on your PC.
Step5: As soon as you click on “Go” button, the browser will ask you to download the back-up. Select “Yes” to download or “No” not to download it.
Do share your ideas how you back-up your wordpress blog. And, if you face any problem, then do let us know in the comments section?

December 22, 2010 at 09:41its good but it wont work when u need to transfer your site from one domain to another in that case What would u suggest Thanks in adv
Vivek Parmar says
December 22, 2010 at 10:03@Shashank: first back-up your site and download that data by using any ftp client (i prefer filezilla), and upload it
the second way is that use a better hosting company (i prefer hostgator) they will do all the things for you without messing up anything
the third way is that i will come up with an article on this 🙂
Still not publish the manual installation of wordpress – in new year your wish get fulfilled
