  I have a blog janav.wordpress.com which is hosted on wordpress.com and it is a free account.

  I am trying to backup my blog. Upon doing some research I came across the link which tells that if the blog is hosted on wordpress.com then backups are done automatically.

  Export Your Website’s Content

  For now I have exported all the contents in .xml file. But it does not include the media files. Is there anything else that I need to do for backing up my blog or would wordpress.com handle it for me?

  Regards,
  Jana

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

  When you import the XML export file you will see a prompt to include attachments – media files are the attachments.
