I am here with a new post on securing WordPress. Today's topic is how you can backup your site and  can save that backup to any cloud service like Amazon S3 bucket or Dropbox and other cloud services so lets start.........

Why Backup is necessary , Backup is necessary because if your website got hacked by malicious hackers and they have deleted all the things from your website from Backup you can restore all your data and you don't have to suffer for loss of data of your important things.

Because your site may contain data which is very important to you to today I will show you how can you take backup of your site and can make it scheduled so it can automatically do backup on scheduled time and then save the same to your desired cloud service.

For cloud service: Dropbox is easy to use and it is cheap also you also get 5GB free space for free. So in this tutorial i will use Dropbox to save my backup.

2. Download this plugin and activate it now go to setting UpdraftPlus Backup. This looks like this 

3.  Now click on setting and scroll down and click on Copying your Backup to remote storage

4. Choose your desired service and authenticate there in my case i chooses Dropbox.
