How should I go about 'backing up' my blog?
I know that Pixy might/probably does daily/hourly back ups, but I'm thinking that I should be a responsible blogger and do it myself.
Anyone care to leave a step-by-step method for this? And here's another stupid question: when I back it up, I'll be backing it up to a spot on my notebook i.e. a local hard drive, right?
Waiting and twidling my thumbs....

In CPanel, click on the backup icon. Click on Generate/Download a Full Backup. This backs up all of the other stuff.
