  Hi WP
  I would like to back up my wordpress blog and website. I know I need to download a plug in, but I can’t work out how to do this. The plug in option doesn’t appear on the left hand toolbar. What do I need to do?

  Hi.

  Since you have not provided a link, there is no way to know if your blog is a WordPress.com or WordPress.org site.

  WordPress.com sites do not allow you install plugins and your site is automatically backed up.

  To learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org (self-hosted), please review the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Questions about self-hosted WordPress (better known WordPress.org) sites can be directed to the support forums at https://wordpress.org/support/

  It’s a wp.com site. I didn’t realise it was automatically backed up. Thx for your help.
