WordPress Backup

Booger snuggling in fluff

Now that I have had not one, but TWO disasters with my website, I have installed a new Plugin called “WordPress Database Backup.” If you go under Plugins => Add New, do a search for wp-db-backup. It can do automatic back ups on various schedules. Mine is now set up for once a day. You know, in case I start writing daily or something. Here is the best part: it EMAILS the back up to me!

Bring it on clumsy human with the too-quick delete fingers, do your worst. By that I mean be gentle. I have yet to test this new feature, but I suspect that like any WP backup, it is only the text and not the images that are saved. I’m sure you still have to download the UPLOADS folder once in a while if you want to be able to restore images.
