494 CHAPTER 18 MAINTAINING YOUR BLOG Figure 18-3. The WP-Cron extension adds a Scheduled Backup section to the WP-DB Backup page. So, with a couple of great plug-ins and a few clicks, you ve managed to accomplish your goal of achieving the magical triumvirate of a good backup strategy: easy to do, with little human interaction, and performed regularly. Give yourself a pat on the back(up)! Restoring Your Database Okay, so you re here because something catastrophic has gone wrong and you need to restore your backup. Or you could be moving your blog to a different hosting provider. Or perhaps you are one of those people who like to prepare for the worst. In any case, you re interested in the process of restoring your database from a backup. Caution Please understand that even if you ve been generating backups, you won t be able to retrieve the information lost since the last backup. First, let s take a look at the recipe for restoring databases. At the top of the list is an archive file generated by any of the methods: the WP-DB Backup plug-in, the graphical user interfaces of either phpMyAdmin or MySQL Administrator, or from the command line. Without the archive file, you can t achieve much. Note If you came here looking for help with a damaged database but haven t performed a backup, then you should consider searching through and perhaps posting to the WordPress support forums at http:// wordpress.org/support/. Although Skippy.net s WP-DB Backup plug-in makes it easy for you to generate backups and automate unattended backups, there is no companion restore plug-in or option. This is because there doesn t need to be. Restoring is a simple process of applying the generated archive file to the database, which you can do using the phpMyAdmin interface.
