Protecting my blog

    Hello:

    Iam worried that by a mistake (probably mine) I could loose
    al the contents of my blog.

    I am not a expert on WordPress and I am not sure if the way
    to protect all the contents of my blog is using a option I have seen
    named EXPORT.

    Will that be enough if I loose the whole thing, to recover from that
    Export option???

    My blog is Cosasdeemilio.wordpress.com in case taht matters.

    Thanks Emilio

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

    Hi Emilio!

    Yes, Export is an option for you!

    From https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/:

    Backups

    If your blog is hosted here at WordPress.com, we handle all necessary backups. If a very large meteor were to hit all the WordPress.com servers and destroy them beyond repair, all of your data would still be safe and we could have your blog online within a couple of days (after the meteor situation died down, of course).

    But if you want to back up your blog content manually, you are free to do so by using the My Site → Settings, Export tab option described above. This is certainly still a good idea, especially if you’ve assigned additional users to your blog. Editors and administrators have the ability to delete any posts or pages, and there is no way to recover material that they remove from your blog.

    Note: This will ONLY export your posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags. If you’d like to backup the media files as well, you will need to install WordPress.org locally on your computer, and run the import from it. This process will download the media files to your computer.

    Hope this answers your question!
