Auto-Backup Your WordPress Database Directly in Your Inbox (With Backup Scheduler Plugin)
Who do want to get his website into disasters and danger. In my opinion, no one wants to, do you?
I mean to say that a powerful platform came into existence when your hard-ships bound with it.
Suppose, if someone is very serious towards blogging and very careful about his site, but did he know? In some paces he is not very well, how he should be?
He don’t care for his site’s backup files such as FTP files, folders and Database files. Keep in mind :idea:, its very dangerous for his site, the outcome would be losing the site from his hands. Let’s stepping forward a little:
A Great Blogger’s blog was Hacked
Amit Agarwal a great blogger who blogs at Labnol.org and recently his blog were hacked along with three other websites owned by him. Although hacker had deleted his website and all things exist in his WordPress. You might be seeing that until the images are not showing in the Amits blog.
Amit Agarwal Blogs on following:
Labnol.org
Blogschool.in
Ctrlq.org
Indianbloggers.org
Remember
I’m Predicting here :shock:, to get you in the right way.
How would you cope, if your website would be hacked, what will you do?
Of course you can’t do anything, without having backup of your website’s files i.e (FTP files, folders and Database files), your website is nothing without these backup files, everything will be finished, that’s it.
Now get back to the topic, listen to me very carefully that it won’t be great if your website’s backup files will automatically be sent on your email address without the expenditure of your time.
Of course it would be the better and awesome way to protect your website, in case of hacking. 😉
