Wordpress Export/mport or BackUpWordpress

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have ever used the Export/Import option of Wordpress? It seems to be easier than BackUpWordpress for putting the local data into a live server. Is there any drawbacks or something?

Thanks in advance

You can use the Import/Export feature to move Posts and Pages from one site to another. There is a a 8MB limit on the files you can import, so this is not very practical for a site of any great size. Backups are stored on the server, and can usually be emailed as an attachment. These are practical in case something bad happens to your site and you need to restore it.
