This help page is for both backing up and restoring of my websites. I am also laying out where each website is on what server.  All of my websites are WordPress unless otherwise indicated.

For backing up websites, there are two things to backing up a website: (1) the actual files on web hosting, and (2) the SQL databases for each website.

Backing up

Using AIOM (all in one migration plugin) click and make a sql database and file backup. Then download it to c:\Users\davidcoxmex\Downloads\_Off-site Storage_25GB-1\website backups files and databases\ and when full (25GsB) copy it to an external drive and make a DVD25GB copy of it.

Exceptions: to be backed up by compressing and downloading the files via CPanel.

Restoring

• Partial backup - i.e. website messed up, but still able to enter admin area. Go to AIOM and upload the backup (*.wpress). Might have to open CPanel and upload large backups by hand.
• Complete total backup - i.e. website so messed up that you cannot enter admin area. Delete website files completely. Reinstall WP in that Cpanel folder. Open new fresh WP, install AIOM and then upload backup and restore. Note that you might have to check SQL dbases to make WP is pointing to the correct databases.

Laying out where each website is on what server

I have a web hosting on these servers:

Hostgator.com

• twmodul account
• eswordli account
• dav1dc0x account
• davidbks account

Hostmonster.com

NameHero.com
