Database Backup

NOTE: The built-in ExpressionEngine Database Backup utility has been removed as of version 1.6.2.

Since ExpressionEngine stores most of your content in a database it is highly recommended that you preform regular database backups. Some hosting providers backup account databases as part of their service, but many do not. And even among those that do, not all of them perform backups at very frequent intervals so you are encouraged to make regular backups part of your site management strategy. Contact your host for more information.
