Um backup completo do site é uma das melhores defesas contra qualquer tipo de ameaça à segurança de seu site.
Backups regulares são algo que todo proprietário de site deve ter. No passado, mostramos a você como manter seu conteúdo seguro com o BackupBuddy e como criar manualmente backups do banco de dados do WordPress.
No entanto, a melhor coisa do WordPress é que você tem várias opções para fazer qualquer coisa.
Neste tutorial, mostraremos a você como criar um backup do WordPress gratuitamente usando o BackWPup.
Por que criar um backup do WordPress?
Todo proprietário de site deve criar backups regulares do site para garantir que seus dados permaneçam seguros em caso de acidente.
Vários fatores podem afetar os dados de seu site, como
- Malware de site que injeta código malicioso em seu site.
- Ransomware que bloqueia os dados de seu site.
- Exclusão acidental de arquivos ou dados importantes do site devido a erro humano ou do servidor.
Agora, você pode pensar que sua empresa de hospedagem WordPress oferece backups regulares.
Entretanto, em nossa experiência, descobrimos que esses backups não são confiáveis. O que acontece se a empresa de hospedagem perder seus dados? Ou se ela suspender sua conta por algum motivo e se recusar a devolver seus dados?
É por isso que você deve sempre criar seus próprios backups do WordPress.
Há várias maneiras de automatizar todo o processo de backup usando um desses excelentes plug-ins de backup do WordPress.
Observação: os backups do BackWPup só podem ser restaurados manualmente. Por isso, recomendamos o uso do Duplicator, que é a melhor solução de backup do WordPress e é conhecido por seus recursos confiáveis de restauração e migração de sites.
Dito isso, vamos dar uma olhada em como criar facilmente um backup do WordPress usando o BackWPup
Criação de backup do WordPress usando o BackWPup
Para este tutorial, usaremos o BackWPup para criar um backup gratuito do WordPress.
Primeiro, você precisa instalar e ativar o plug-in BackWPup. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso tutorial sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Etapa 1: Criar um trabalho de backup
Após a ativação do plug-in, você precisa visitar a página BackWPUP ” Add new job. Um trabalho no BackWPup é um conjunto de instruções que você fornece ao plug-in sobre o backup que deseja fazer.
Primeiro, forneça um nome para seu trabalho. Pode ser qualquer coisa que o ajude a lembrar o que esse backup faz. Em nosso exemplo, estamos usando “Weekly WordPress Backup”.
Abaixo disso, selecione as tarefas que você deseja que esse trabalho de backup execute. Recomendamos marcar todas as opções.
Role um pouco para baixo até a seção “Job Destination” (Destino do trabalho). É aqui que você pode selecionar onde deseja armazenar o backup.
Ele pode armazenar arquivos de backup em seu servidor, enviá-los por e-mail, fazer backup em FTP e enviá-los para o Dropbox, Amazon S3, Windows Azure, Rackspace e SugarSync.
Faça o que fizer, NÃO armazene os backups em seu servidor. Isso anula o objetivo da criação do backup, que é ter uma cópia salva do seu site armazenada em outro local.
Para este tutorial, usaremos o Dropbox.
A escolha de uma opção adicionará uma nova guia ao menu Job.
Importante: Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
Agora, mude para a nova guia com o nome do destino onde deseja armazenar o backup. Por exemplo, se você escolher o Dropbox, verá uma guia intitulada “To: Dropbox”.
A partir daqui, você pode definir as configurações da sua conta na nuvem. Por exemplo, se você selecionou o Dropbox, basta clicar no botão “Get Dropbox App auth code” para configurá-lo. Em seguida, você será solicitado a permitir o acesso do aplicativo à sua conta do Dropbox e a configurar uma pasta para seus backups.
Depois disso, clique no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para salvar suas configurações.
Etapa 2: Agende seu backup
Em seguida, você precisa mudar para a guia Schedule (Programação). Na opção “Start job”, escolha a opção “with WordPress cron”.
O WordPress cron é o sistema integrado do WordPress usado para executar tarefas agendadas.
Agora, role a tela um pouco para baixo e escolha a frequência da tarefa de backup. Recomendamos escolher uma programação semanal ou mensal, dependendo da frequência com que você atualiza o conteúdo do site.
Depois disso, clique no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
Etapa 3: Selecione o que incluir no backup
Agora, você precisa escolher o que deseja incluir ou excluir do backup.
Vá para a guia “DB Backup” e escolha as tabelas que deseja incluir no backup. Se não tiver certeza, selecione todas as tabelas.
Clique no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
Depois disso, vá para a guia “Files” (Arquivos). Aqui, você pode escolher os arquivos a serem excluídos do backup.
Se você não tiver certeza, deixe as opções padrão como estão.
Novamente, clique no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
Agora, você precisa mudar para a guia “XML export”. A partir daqui, você pode gerar um arquivo de exportação XML compatível com o WordPress de todo o seu conteúdo.
As opções padrão funcionarão para a maioria dos sites.
Salve suas alterações e vá para a guia “Plugins”.
Aqui, o plug-in de backup gerará uma lista de texto de todos os plug-ins instalados em seu site do WordPress.
Por fim, clique no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas configurações.
Etapa 4: Executar o trabalho de backup
Agora que você criou uma tarefa de backup, é necessário executá-la pela primeira vez.
Vá para a página BackWPup ” Jobs e clique no link “Run now” (Executar agora) abaixo do trabalho que você criou anteriormente.
O plug-in agora executará o trabalho de backup e mostrará o progresso.
Isso pode demorar um pouco, dependendo do tamanho do seu site. Após a conclusão, você verá uma mensagem de sucesso.
Agora você pode verificar o arquivo de backup visitando a fonte de destino (como o Dropbox ou a outra opção de armazenamento que você escolheu anteriormente).
Solução de problemas de backup do WordPress Jobs no BackWPup
A execução de um trabalho de backup pode causar uma carga extra em seu servidor de hospedagem. Isso pode resultar em tarefas de backup não concluídas.
Além disso, na maioria dos serviços de hospedagem compartilhada, há um limite de tempo ou memória que um script pode consumir. Quando seu servidor interrompe o BackWPup por ultrapassar o limite de tempo ou de memória, ele aguarda um pouco e, em seguida, retoma o processo. Nesse caso, o trabalho de backup demorará um pouco para ser concluído.
A primeira coisa que você deve fazer para corrigir isso é aumentar o limite de memória do PHP e, em seguida, ir para BackWPup ” Settings e clicar na guia “Jobs”.
Aumente a opção “Número máximo de novas tentativas para as etapas do trabalho”. O valor padrão é 3, mas você pode aumentá-lo para 5 e verificar se isso funciona para você.
Depois disso, você deve rolar para baixo até a opção “Reduce server load” (Reduzir carga do servidor) e selecionar a opção “medium” (média) ou “minimum” (mínima).
Por fim, certifique-se de clicar no botão “Save changes” (Salvar alterações) na parte inferior para armazenar suas configurações.
Como restaurar seu site a partir do backup
Infelizmente, o BackWPup não vem com um recurso de restauração com um clique. É por isso que você precisará restaurar manualmente seu site a partir de diferentes arquivos de backup.
Para obter instruções detalhadas, consulte nosso artigo sobre como restaurar o WordPress a partir do backup e siga as instruções de restauração manual do banco de dados e dos arquivos do WordPress.
Se você quiser um plug-in de backup do WordPress com uma opção de restauração mais fácil, recomendamos usar o Duplicator. Há também uma versão gratuita do Duplicator com menos opções de backup.
Para obter mais informações, consulte nossa análise completa do Duplicator.
Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a criar um backup completo do WordPress com o BackWPup. Você também pode consultar nosso guia de segurança do WordPress para obter mais dicas sobre como proteger seu site ou nossa seleção de especialistas dos melhores plug-ins de segurança do WordPress para proteger seu site.

BackWPUp just changed the way the plugin accesses / stores backup files in Dropbox. The info they have given is pretty rubbish! Please can you update this article to reflect those changes, and advise users on how best to re-connect BackWPUp with Dropbox? Cheers!
WPBeginner Support says
We will certainly look into updating this article. If you reach out to BackWPUp they should be able to help and clarify on anything that is confusing in their documentation as well

Hey guys, I’ve just had a look at this backup plugin on its page.
You have to BUY the pro version to do a RESTORE!!!
That right??? Sure reads that way to me.
WPBeginner Support says
They created a method to restore the backup using the plugin rather than manually and that feature they are requiring pro, you can still restore your site manually without the pro version.

In the dropbox tab, for me today 2/10/19, next to the Authentication it said ” not Authenticated “, and said create an account. but i already have an account so it would not give me the allow the plugin option. However, I clicked on the dropbox Authentication button, it then brought up my dropbox and it displayed a code. Copy and pasted that code into the box and it then went to the allow BackWPup. Just in case anyone else comes across that problem. But thanks for the tutorial, one of many that I use..
WPBeginner Support says
Thanks for sharing this solution should someone else run into this error

Monika says
Can this create a WooCommerce backup as well or do I need a specific plugin for that one?
Chris says
If you cant see the re-authenticate option in your drop box account then you need to just click on the button below this one in your backup plugin settings. It will then prompt you to allow access and grant a code.
I had the same issue and it worked for me.

Eloise says
Hi,
The layout on BackWPup seems to have changed bit since this article was written – the Jobs tab now seems to be called Schedule, and when I go in there I can’t find an option to set the number of server re-tries..?
Every other site I’m using BackWPup on works fine. But one site that I manage is having a few problems; the site is quite large, lots of plugins, and I keep getting error messages that ZIP files are not closing properly during execution. Any thoughts/revisions that might be helpful please?
Many thanks!
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Eloise,
We will update the article. Meanwahile, please contact plugin support and see if they can help you out.

Nice writeup. Ihave done backup before but I wasn’t able to restore my Media Library images. When you bakup with this plugin, and you restore, will the will the media library images be restored too?

Hey John,
Yes they will be included. However, make sure that you create a complete WordPress backup and not just the Database backup.

Very useful! Thanks a lot ;-))
Pierre BLAZER says
Hi there ! I just installed BackWPup, and I can see there are several possibilities to archive the backup in the GENERAL tab: ZIP, TAR, TAR GZIP etc. Afterward, under the DATABASE tab for example, the choice to compress is only: GZIP or NOTHING, so I’m a bit confused. What should I do if I chose ZIP as an archive? Should I choose GZIP ?? Thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Pierre,
Yes, you should choose Gzip. It is a compression format just like zip.

Does this have support with Azure ARM Storage. I get this error:
400 Value: The value for one of the HTTP headers is not in the correct format.
Seems like there is a issue with the API this version is using. Anyone have managed to do this successfully with ARM Cold Storage account?

Thanks but one thing missing i cant actually connect to dropbox any little help will be highly welcomed
Aakarshit Choudhary says
hey bro!
I am a wordpress begineer!
Please tell me how I can use this backup on my website if my website crashes?
Jane Bonney says
I found the instructions fairly clear and helpful, although sometimes the phrasing could be a little better to make the instructions better.
When I backed up I got the following error mesages:
ERROR: Dropbox API: (56) SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 104
ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 5150 seconds. You must resolve the errors for correct execution.
So what do I do please?
JANE BONNEY says
I discovered this was because my dropbox was full. So the solution was simply to delete some of the media I had uploaded and not used or increase dropbox space allowance.
Rachel says
Hi! Thanks for this great post! When creating a job – I say to back up to Dropbox but it doesn’t say ‘Reauthenticate’….It just says Create account. I already have a Dropbox account, so when I click on Create Account it doesn’t request permission as shown in this post, it tells me how much available space I have and prompts me to get more. I’m stuck on what to do.
Chris says
same here for me too. I tried everything but not sure if its because you need to have a paid account that supports API integration.
Francis says
I use BackWPup on my site and it shows it has backed up correctly and the test mail has also arrived but I do not get the backups sent to my email. I tried different email accounts but it doesn’t send anything unless there is an error. How can I get the backups sent to email and how can I download them? Thanks very much.

Thanks for the article! I tried using this plugin message, but I received an error message when backing up.

I’m not very knowledgeable about coding, can you help!
Anna says
I’m exploring this topic because I’m about to set up my first WP site. I’m wondering, however, if every site really needs so much attention paid to back-up? Our site will essentially be static, that is, it’s not a blog so there are no posts, nor are there comments: its content comprises text and photos which are ours and are backed-up elsewhere.
I will be using a purchased theme so those files, as well, are elsewhere. Of course the entire site once created will position the photos and text according to the theme and that will involve customization and work. That I can see the value of backing-up, but a one-time ought to do it, no?
I’d appreciate someone experienced helping me clarify this! Thanks.
Leonid says
If you have a static site, you don’t need WordPress for it. Just build HTML/CSS site.
Aniket says
Hey
Thanks for coming up with an important topic. I am already using backwpup on my site.
I am using the dropbox option. But, the dropbox comes with a limited space of 2GB.
What should I do after this?
Should I delete some of the previous files to generate space? If yes, which files should I delete?
WPBeginner Support says
You can download older backups to your computer.

Michale says
Did you ever try to restore a site from a backup made using BackWPup? Since BackWPup doesn’t have a “Restore backup” option, that would be an interesting post..
Ziacinzia says
HI, thank you for this article. I have an issue though, my dropbox is almost full and as my site grows, it takes more and more space, so I wonder what i should do when I run out of space? Is there a similar alternative to dropbox to save the backup jobs? Many thanks
WPBeginner Staff says
You can purchase more space. Alternately you can try saving your backups to Google Drive.
Ziacinzia says
I read that Google Drive does not encrypt files and is not a safe option. May I please have your view on that? Thank you
WPBeginner Staff says
1. The backups on your hosting service provider are sometimes not available. Also these backups could get compromised. Sometimes web hosting companies may even terminate your account without giving you enough time to get your files. In all these scenarios, and there are many others too, the user looses the access to their backup files.
2. Saving backups on the same server as your website actually defeats the purpose of backing up in the first place. For example, if the security of your server is compromised then your backup files could get affected too. This would make it immensely difficult for you to restore your website.
Michael Einstein says
OK.. I understand and this makes sense.. So would the WordPress Backup to Dropbox be a good option as an alternate place to store the backups, or perhaps to my google drive? Although I do worry a bit that these sites aren’t totally secure either. Only other option is if I can configure a backup to go to an external drive I have on my home computer that gets backed up everynight to a cloud-based backup.. That way I would have it on my home computer AND on the cloud. But this won’t work if my home computer is turned-off, although it is “usually on”.

Michael Einstein says
A few Newbie questions here:
1) If I use Bluehost for a hosted WordPress site, that comes with daily backups of my entire site. Why would I also need a seperate wordpress backup solution? Couldn’t I always just restore my site if anything ever happened through my cPANEL in Bluehost?
2) In this article, it says: “Whatever you do, DO NOT store the backups on your server.” Why? Isn’t this a good/secure place to store your backup since it also will get backed-up? Where else would I store it? Dropbox?? That actually sounds less safe and secure then in a dedicated directory somewhere on my hosting server.
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Michael
Duncan McCormack says
It’s redundancy surely.
I think it’s a good idea to either use another backup technology (plugins) as well as your hosted provider method.
I also think it’s a good idea to download your hosted provider backups and put ‘em elswhere (on your work/home PC?) – but I’m happy to trust cloud technology providers, particularly Google and Microsoft. I reckon Dropbox are pretty trustworth too, eh? Surely.
WPBeginner Support says
Correct, it is mainly for redundancy and so you have control over your backups

I’ve followed the tutorial and am being told that it’s all backed up but when I’ve checked in my dropbox folder, I can’t see it. Any ideas??
Eloise says
There will be a separate BackWPup folder in your Dropbox – it’s not immediately obvious, so have a look around. Took me a couple of mins to find it when I first started doing using BackWPup too!
Bala Chandar says
I got an error like “The HTTP response test get an error “connect() timed out!”
Vitaliy Kolos says
OK, I’ve backed up my files, database, list of plugins, but now I’m sort of stuck because I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do next. I mean I know I’m supposed to restore certain files, but I’m afraid that I’ll override something that I actually need. Do I just leave wp-config.php alone and update the rest or what am I supposed to do next?
harishchouhan says
I have been using BackWPup since a while, but the “This APP will have access to your entire DropBox” scares me. With so many security issues being exploited every now and then, one wrong step, and I hope my DropBox data is not compromised.

Carole says
If you do a daily backups to Dropbox, do the files with changes replace the existing files or is a complete new backup added each day? My ecomm website seems to be 5GB so that could quickly blow through even 100GB of Dropbox storage.
Pali Madra says
As usual a great tutorial.
I did want to point out that in the first tab, which is called General, under the job details section the option to optimize database tables is not there anymore. Is this the case with me only or is it the same for everyone?

Hey Syed, Thanks for sharing this info. This is a great article. I’m using Updraftplus backup/restore. I have a question please. This may sound silly… sending daily backups to the cloud (Dropbox) as opposed to weekly backups, would that take more storage space? If earlier versions of files are deleted then why am I running out of space so quickly? I’m not really adding much content to my sites (I’m not a blogger). I’m such a newb! Thanks
