  Does WordPress.com provide backup of my blog site in case of hacking or am I responsible for that?

  If I am responsible what do you recommend for back up?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey Allison,

  We handle backups of all WordPress.com hosted sites, but you are free to create your own backup at any time. You can do that by going to Tools->Export in your WordPress.com dashboard.

  You can find more info on backups and exports here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#backups

  Also, if at any point your site gets hacked, please contact our Account Recovery team here: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  If you have any other questions, or concerns, please reply back to me as soon as you can, I am more than happy to help you out!

  Best,
  Brie
