About backing up my website articles…

    Hi,

    I posted a lot of articles on my websites and I want to back them up.

    When I used the UpdraftPlus plugin I got 5 zip files with these backups files: plugins, themes, uploads, database and others.

    I’m guessing to restore an article I should restore the database backup file, correct?

    Do you know of perhaps another way to backup my article pages (apart from clicking File > Save As in Chrome for each one)?

    Thanks!

  • You should use the same plugin you used to backup your site, in this case, UpdraftPlus, to restore it. Go to UpdraftPlus’s options page to restore. You should read up on how UpdraftPlus works.

    Clicking File > Save As is not a good way to backup, as restoring won’t really be possible doing it this way. Stick with UpdraftPlus, would be my “unofficial” recommendation, but go learn how it works and how to use it.

    Also read up on WordPress backups in general at https://www.ads-software.com/support/article/wordpress-backups/ because this is primarily a WordPress function, and Elementor plays no part in the process.

    ok, just to clarify, the database file is the most important file, that contains my articles so to speak, correct?

    Thank you!

    Yes, correct.
