How to Create Complete Backup of your WordPress site ?

Webmasters says “If you don’t have a backup of your website or blog on your local computer / drive, You are not claimed that you are admin or owner of your site”. So complete backup includes all files, articles, images, comments and database of your site is very important for recovery in any disaster. If your site is cutsom made or use any other platform instead of WP then process of creating backup is slightly different but in WordPress there are many easy ways to creating backup of your complete site. Even you schedule your site backup which create it for you after every new post.
