I know backing up files might sound tedious at times because of the size it has after some time. What more if your dont just have one blog to backup but more? I know that with a big number of blogs you might think it would take around 500mb or more but guess what its possible to reduce it to around 50mb and below and fortunately I have managed to do just that.

How do I do that? All I did was to host my photos on image hosting services such as Photobucket, Imageshack, Flickr and the like instead of uploading it on to my site and then just hotlinking it to my blog. That alone can help you save large amount of hosting space.

If I would be sharing files like docs, pdf, txtfiles, media files and the like then I would use an online storage space or file sharing sites like Fileden, and host my files there. Simple as that.

Doing just that could fairly help you reduce file size that you would need to backup in the long run.

Now backing up files would not be such a chore anymore does it?
