Looks like I wasn't clear. This blog at deadpoetscave.com was wiped clean. Thankfully, I followed the upgrade instructions when going from 2.1.2 to 2.5.1, which involved backing up the database and the files before doing anything. I managed to restore the blog from that backup. I guess my concern is not so much about backing up the database and all that. Rather, I want my blog to still exist after I pass on. This domain and everything on it will go down once payment stops. That's why I have started cross-posting to the wordpress.com site. Heh. I'm assuming wordpress.com remains free and outlives me though. Whoops! Looks like I wasn’t clear. This blog at deadpoetscave.com was wiped clean.

THe most important thing to backup is out database, but it'll probably work only on our self-hosted servers. http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/ So you’re referring to your wordpress.com blog getting wiped?
