To backup your WordPress database, you’ll need a database backup utility.
phpMyAdmin is a web-based MySql database administration tool that most hosting providers make available to their customers. This tool includes a backup utility and allows you to edit data in the database directly (among other things). It’s pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.
One caveat: while phpMyAdmin is a good utility, remember that you’re working over an internet connection. Some quirkiness is to be expected. You may have to try things twice or play around a little.
These instructions were tested using a MySql 4.0.27 database and phpMyAdmin 2.6.4-pl2 on Linux 2.6.9. If your configuration numbers vary within reason, these instructions should still work.
In Summary
To Backup
There are two basic options:
• Export the entire database
• Export only the tables
This is a subtle but important difference. If you want to manually create the database before restoring, then export only the tables. Exporting only the tables has some advantages. First, you will eliminate any uncertainty regarding this step of the restore – that is, you will know whether or not the database was successfully created before inserting the tables. In addition, you can add the necessary users to the database before populating it with data.
To Restore
Use the Import feature in phpMyAdmin to upload the gzipped file from your workstation’s hard drive to the web server. phpMyAdmin will automatically extract and restore the database/tables.
In Detail
- Log in to your host’s control panel for your site and go to the MySql database admin page.
- Open phpMyAdmin. From the phpMyAdmin home page:
- If you are exporting a database:
Click on the Export link from the home page for a database export.
- If you are exporting tables:
Select the database first, then click the Export link for exporting the tables.
(the following screenshots show a table export)
Click Export after selecting the database:
- After selecting the database and clicking Export, you will be presented with the Export screen, which has several options. Our recommendations are reflected below.
You can research the settings selected in the screenshot if you wish. For the sake of brevity, we simply present our recommendations as tested:
Structure
– add DROP TABLE
– Add AUTO_INCREMENT value
– Enclose table and field names with backquotes
Data
– Use hexadecimal for binary fields
Save as file
[use default File name template]
– “gzipped”
- Click the GO button, and you will be prompted to save the compressed file to your workstation’s hard drive. Do not change the name of the file. Save it with the default name given by phpMyAdmin.
TO RESTORE
- From the phpMyAdmin utility home page:
- If you are importing a database:
The database should not yet exist on the server, so just open the Query Window (the import process will create the database automatically).
- If you are importing tables:
First select the database you want to restore from the drop-down list, then click the SQL icon (in the left column) to open the Query Window. Note: this assumes you’ve already created the new database into which you will be inserting your tables.
- Select the empty database (if importing tables), then click the SQL icon.
- In the Query Window, click the Import files button.
- Use the Browse button to select the compressed backup file from your workstation’s hard drive.
- Be sure the gzipped option is selected and click the GO button.
Done!
Important note:
If the URL to your new host or site is different from what it was previously, you’ll need to use phpMyAdmin to change two fields directly in the database. These two fields are in the options table: siteurl and home. You’ll have all kinds of trouble if you try to access your blog without changing these fields.

If you change your site’s domain or move your blog so it uses a different URL, you’ll need to use phpMyAdmin to change two fields directly in the database. These two fields are in the options table: siteurl and home. You’ll have all kinds of trouble if you try to access your blog without changing these fields.
- Log in to your host’s control panel for your site and go to the MySql database admin page.
- Open phpMyAdmin.
- Select the correct database from the drop-down list in the column on the left, then select the options table.
- Click the Browse button.
- Find the siteurl row with the option_value of your old server (should be the first row).
- Click on the pencil icon to edit the value and change it to the URL of your new host.
- Click the Go button at the bottom of the screen to save the change.
- You should be taken back to the Browse screen (if not, just select the table from the list on the left and click Browse again). We need to make one more edit.
- At the bottom of the Browse page you will see a button for paging forward. Click the button so the additional fields in the table are displayed (the options table has more fields than phpMyAdmin displays on one page).We are looking the home field.
Repeat the same procedure to edit the home field.
- Click the GO button at the bottom of the screen to save the changes.
Done!
