How often do you take a backup?

[Deleted member 25872]

I usually take a backup once a week to make sure if any information I had on my forum isn't going to be lost or deleted.

I do daily automatic backups.

Daily backups are the way to go. I also like to make sure that I take a backup before I make any big changes to a site. 🙂

For me daily because you never know when you could lose all of your stuff it could be today who knows. If it's a big site then daily,if not big then weekly because you won't lose much if it is small. Always do it before you do stuff like add themes so you won't lose things and you won't have to repay for it.

I backup my forum daily.

With my wordpress project I am currently working on an automatic backup is taken every week by a plugin which then also uploads the backup to my Google Drive account as a precaution to make sure I don't lose anything in case of an emergancy. When I had my forums I never really bothered with backups to be honest.

I had mine set to every 48 hours as it wasn't all that active. If I had a more active forum I would definitely backup more frequently.

I manually take a backup once or twice a month. My server/Digital Ocean backs everything up weekly and then I have nightly backups done via cPanel as well.

I take a backup twice a week, but my host does them daily.

I take backups every week. If we are really active, I will do daily backups.
