  Hi I was speaking to a friend who recommended we do a back up of our work on our harddrive. Please help

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

  Hi @jarnelias2014, you would be welcome to make an export file as a backup:

  Note it does not include images, but I noticed your site doesn’t have any images stored in its library anyway, so you should be okay.

  Also @jarnelias2014, I noticed your two sites on our servers do not have any content on them.

  If you’re running your own copy of WordPress elsewhere, the link I sent earlier about us keeping your data safe does not apply to that installation.

  So if that’s the case:

  – you’ll want to use the WordPress.org forums for help

  – ask your host about backups

  – and maybe consider using a service like VaultPress.

  I hope that helps!
