  I have a free site hosted here in wordpress, do I have to back up the files in case the site is hacked? if that’s the case, may I ask how to do it? I’m kinda new and not that knowledgeable when it comes to this. thank you!

  Go to tools > export and you can export all of your content (pages, posts, comments, categories and tags).

  I notice that your site has a lot of images. The above method does not back up images, you would have to do that yourself. However wordpress.com does have a multi-site backup, though a poster in the linked thread says that at least one blog has gone poof!

  oh, how can I back it up? I have successfully exported the contents, I didn’t thought that the images are not included (?)

  If you need to back up images I would recommend something like HTTrack.
