Another benefit of ProPhoto WordPress Theme… Backup Reminders!

This week I was pleasantly surprised to see an email arrive in my inbox from my blog. It was auto-generated by the theme I’m using, ProPhotoBlogs.

Hello, this is a friendly reminder from the ProPhoto theme that now would be a good time to back up your blog.

We recommend doing a complete backup of your blog, including the database and files, once a month. Remember, as the owner of a self-hosted WordPress blog, you’re responsible for your own data in case something goes wrong.

This email is generated automatically each month to remind you to perform a backup. If you would like to stop receiving these emails, you can turn off this feature on this page of your blog’s admin area.

When you’re relying on dynamically generated pages, such as those created by WordPress, backing up regularly is definitely a must. In the off chance your database were to become corrupted, you would have a restore point. Trying to restore a site that’s down can be a frustrating experience — so give yourself some peace of mind by setting up a schedule for backing up your data.
