Why you should take Backup of your Blogger Posts, Pages and Comments?


In this article, I will discuss why and how we should take backup of our valuable blog data.

1. Google Penalty

Earlier Google penalize a blog by degrade page rank or ban from a search engine, But now Google deleting any blog without any prior notice as a penalty. Generally for spam, Black Hat SEO practice or Copying content from another blog. So you should always take a backup of your blog to secure your time and effort behind your blog.

2. Server Crash

If your blog is on paid hosting site then don’t think your data is secure. Because the server can crash anytime and you will lose all of your data at once. There are some free web hosting services also provide hosting service which doesn’t offer any data backup service, in this case, you must keep a backup of your blog every day.

3. Hackers Bout

Hacker is always active to bout or attack your blog if your blog is valuable to them. Mostly higher rank blog affect by hackers so you should take backup regularly. In Blogspot, we have to take backup manually but in the case of WordPress, there are many plugins where you can use to take your blog backup automatically.

4. Virus and Malware Attack

Virus and malware attack is very dangerous for blog user because Google may delete your site if your blog infected by malware. It happens in the case of installing a new Code or script. 

In 2011 my previous blog was infected by malware and I was in great trouble. And after so much struggle, I have found an infected code on my ‘’Random Post’’ widget, after removing that widget malware has removed. 

Later again my site was infected and finally, I got the infected code from an affiliate ads code. As a result search engine has banned my previous blog. So be careful about installing a widget from the least popular site.  So we should always keep backup to recover our site.
