How to Backup Drupal site

Posted by: Amit Nazare on: April 16, 2009


Backing up your Drupal site is now very easy, just need to download and  install the Backup & Migrate Module. To install the module click on the Administer> Modules check the Backup and Migrate module and enable it and save the settings.

Then go to the Administer > Content Management > Backup and Migrate then make the following settings

1. Exclude the following tables altogether: select the table which you dont want to take backup .

2. Give the backup file name.

3. There are also options to compress the file before download, or add a datestamp.

And then click Backup Database.

Backup and Migrate is the easiest module that is available. The other method would be through  PhpMyAdmin.
