Nifty way to backup your blog,,,

I started using a backup plugin called "Automatic Wordpress Backup" about a week ago after reading about it online. It uses an Amazon S3 account ( http://aws.amazon.com/s3/ ) as an off-site backup media. It backs up your database, theme files, config file and more. According to the developer, version 2.0 is coming out soon with improved database backup.

Oh, and it runs the backup job daily, weekly or monthly and on demand.

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing

Re: Nifty way to backup your blog,,,

dont you have to pay for that service?

Re: Nifty way to backup your blog,,,

Yes but not that much. It's usage based pricing. There's an optional FTP backup location as well.

I did everything exactly how it said in the video tutorial but the backup didn't work. It lists the backup in my dashboard but there is no file in the uploads/awb folder except that it created an .htaccess doc there. And I don't see anything in my Amazon account either.
