To cut the story short, the only way I’ve found around that was to start my website from scratch. Can you see how many headaches this can be?! That backup had those security holes and malicious codes included, so whenever I’d try to restore my website, it would have been hacked over and over again. Why? Because that backup was created after my website has been hacked so it was already too late. I realized earlier, that even if I have restored my website using the backup I’ve created, my website will be still vulnerable to hacking attempts. That time I’ve made a backup of my site (I wish I could have done that earlier).īut it didn’t take long before my website got hacked for the 3rd time and I was about to give up on my blog. So I’ve solved this on my own and again I took a long time trying to remove all the suspected files on my site and changing my login details. My hosting didn’t have the solution either, normally what they do is provide you with some tips and advice to secure your website, but they won’t be able to detect where are the security holes or damaged files in your account. However, that didn’t solve the main problem, and later my website was hacked for the 2nd time, at that time I was really mad and didn’t know what to do. After messing with some files here and there, I was able to make my website display as normal. I tried to solve that by deleting all the malicious URLs detected by my hosting, I also changed my user and password. I woke up one day and my website was gone, my homepage was redirected to show an ugly message saying ” This website was hacked”, then I start receiving notifications emails from my hosting company with some malicious pages URLs that have been injected into my website folders. Well, I’ll explain briefly my story when I first launched my first WordPress site in 2010, it was a simple WordPress site with around 10 blog posts, but I have put a lot of time and effort to create that site. First, let’s discuss why you should backup your website. Storing backups on remote destinations away from your website local server is a great way to secure your content, you should never rely on your localhost only to store your backups, there are many plugins that create local backups and I’ll explain why you shouldn’t do that in a moment. Not only that but you can set the backups to be automatically stored or sent to any remote destination like Amazon S3, Dropbox, local directory, Rackspace, FTP, or even to your email inbox. You can manually create backups at any time you want and also you can schedule backups to take place hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. Backup buddy has many great features like local Backup, Remote destinations Backups, Scheduled backups, Restore backups, Email notifications, and more.īackup buddy allows you to backup all your WordPress site files easily with few clicks, you can choose whether to do database backups of full website backups. What is the Backup buddy Plugin?īackup buddy is one of the most popular WordPress plugins that allow you to easily backup, migrate, and restore your WordPress site. In my review, I’ll try to cover all the main points of why you should back up your website, why regular Backups are crucial for any website or blog, and why I have chosen the backup buddy plugin for my websites over all other backup alternatives.
