back of a WP blog..
-
I have read how WP keeps back up data of everyone’s blog. But does that include images and videos?
I have over 300 images in galleries and slideshows on my blog. But if WP servers were to go down is there any other way that those who have photo-related blogs can salvage all of their work via WP. At least it will spare many us days of rebuilding/recreating one’s own blog.Any good leads are greatly appreciated and rewarded with hugs! :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

so sorry I stepped away from my post and when I got back I noticed my word omission!
I meant “back-up of a WP blog”! -
They say so, but I’ve seen one case where things went POOF. You’re responsible for your own backups, and they’re easily done via the Export feature on the dashboard.

The export feature will not back-up images. When you do an import it uses the references to the images to load them from the original server.
@ahipshooter
Since the images are your main concern I would use something like httrack to download your site, as well as doing an export. It would then be possible if you had to restore it to put your downloaded site on the web, edit the references in the import, then import the blog. The restore would involve a lot of messing around or a day’s work for a WordPress contractor though! -

Yes. Copies of everything you have written and uploaded are stored in more than one location.
