How To Backup And Restore Wordpress From Cpanel

//*
//*
In this tutorial, I will show you how to backup WordPress from Cpanel and then how to restore it.

You can use plugins to do this as well, but there are two reasons why it's good to know other ways to back up.

First, many backup plugins are limited by the file size they will backup for free. If your site is larger than the limit you'll have to get the Pro version of the plugin.

Second, I believe it's always best to know how things work before you look for the "easy way" to do things because the "easy way" doesn't always work.

Great tutorial, the most important part for me was that you actually deleted the whole website, database and folder which by the way is something that most of us would not do but seeing you do it and restoring everything successfully is what makes your video 100% trustworthy so thank you very much for taking the time to create this tutorial and explaining everything so clearly.

Thank you so much, just came across your video and its helped me to restore my staging site without having to purchase a plugin.

You are a god send! few minor changes... zipping larger files...being patient! Creating a new database...making sure database, username, password & host name all match in wp_options & wp-config.php..getting 'database error' messages trying to open the website...hey It's my first time migrating, can't be perfect!... since I had to create a new database, the host name will change and the information for your host name is under your hosting plan service where it will show you your DNS aswell...Be patient guys.. make notes of what you have done already to quickly change if necessary.
I have realised most backup/restore plugins will backup but won't restore, so we have no choice than to do this manually in most cases. Good luck!!

Great tutorial, thanks! For those who were over about 50% of disk capacity like, me, you'll have to zip and download and delete zip folders in smaller chunks. Or delete some files. I had some large old backup files on my server disk that I downloaded and then deleted. Made all the difference!

This was a great and easy to follow tutorial! Thanks for showing this in a straightforward manner. Will def look into other stuff of yours as I use wordpress moving forward.

[petrarentrop]

Thanks so much ... very clear and easy to follow tutorial. I was moving an existing website to a new server and I found it easier/simpler to use the Mysql Wizard to import the data-base file and create a new user and inputting existing user/pass from wp-config file instead of creating a new database altogether.
