How to Backup a Single Post – Not the Whole Blog

    I’ve got a blog that I recently backed up. But for some reason the blog size ballooned to almost ten times the size of a backup that was just a little bit older.

    In fact, I have a backup that only has three posts less and yet is almost ten times smaller in file size than the current backup.

    Therefore, I figured if I simply replaced the blog with the older backup and then just redid the three blog posts then my blog would be in much better shape.

    NOTE: It’s likely my blog was hacked a while back and this may have been the cause for the massive file size.

    Any options for handling this would be useful to me. Possibly even finding a way to delete any excess files that caused this massive increase in file size.

    Went from 38.7MB to 338MB

    Thank you,

    Roger
