Need to Backup a WordPress Blog?
I found a neat plugin – WordPress Backup to Dropbox. It dumps your database to your /wp-content directory and then copies the entire directory tree to your dropbox.com account.
It’s also neat because it uses oauth; it doesn’t store any usernames or passwords, it just requires that you go over to the dropbox site and authorize it. Then you can set a day and time for your site to be backed up and how frequently you want it. There’s even an option to start it now.
Since your web host probably kills off long running scripts, this backup plugin monitors the status and if it appears to go away, it’ll try to restart the process. It’s pretty slick.
