Backing up your WordPress blog

Perhaps, I’m not an only one who uses WordPress as a blogging platform of my choice — surely it’s my domain and my hosting, but still. Recently I’ve discovered very neat and nice way of backing up your entire blog, which can be described in a few simple steps:

1. Go to wordpress.com and create a private blog
2. Go to yourblog.com/wp-admin and export all entries (Tools – Export)
3. Go to your WordPress.com blog and import this export file
4. After import is finished, mark the checkbox that you want to download all attachments too — WordPress will download all images, videos, etc which you’ve posted to your blog

That is it! Now you have a backup of all your content, which could certainly be helpful at the moment when you discover that you should’ve done backups.

But, of course you’re doing backups … wait … what?!
