The current version of the WordPress.org installation gives you the option to import uploaded files, but the blog you are importing from must be live and serving images properly in order for it to work. So, do not delete your blog until after media files have successfully been imported into the new blog.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning to export your content to another blog platform, it\u2019s best to manually download and save your images from your opte.io Media Library to before trying to import\/upload them into the new blog. If you run into trouble importing your media library images, please <a href=\".\/help\/\">contact support<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"backups\" class=\"section-title\">Backups<\/h2>\n<p>If your site\u00a0is hosted here at opte.io, we handle all necessary backups. If a very large meteor were to hit all the opte.io servers and destroy them beyond repair, all of your data would still be safe and we could have your site\u00a0online within a couple of hours\u00a0(after the meteor situation died down, of course).<\/p>\n<p>But if you want to back up your site&#8217;s\u00a0content manually, you are free to do so by using the\u00a0<strong>Tools -&gt; Export<\/strong> option described above. This is certainly still a good idea, especially if you\u2019ve assigned additional <a href=\"https:\/\/opte.io\/support\/user-roles\/\">users<\/a> to your site.
