millions of blogs out there, covering a variety of topics, you can most
likely find one that appeals to your tastes. No wonder, weblogs are assets
to the readers and owners alike.
That being said, this is the Internet we are talking about here. Hacking and
cracking attempts on popular blogs is common. We have had our share of not
so pleasant experiences as well. Imagine losing control of your site and/or
its contents. So much hard work, so much time you put into it, all put at
risk. No one would like to lose such an asset.
Surely there has to be something that can be done to safeguard one's content
and hard work against such attempts.
Well yes, indeed there are preventive measures that you can take like
enhancing security. Choosing strong passwords, changing them often, adding
additional security plugins, etc. However, as is so often the case,
ironically, the only thing certain about security measures is that no
security measure is foolproof! So while you should do your best to enhance
your website's security, you should always take regular backups so that in
the event of any such attempt you don't lose all the content that makes your
site what it really is.
There are a number of plugins available to back up your WordPress blog. One
that is particularly interesting and feature rich is called "Online Backup
for WordPress". First lets see how you can install and configure it.
The following applies to the first version of the plugin only.
When we first started using WordPress to power our own website earlier this
year we were pleased to see that there were a few plugins available to back
up our site but disappointed that none of them offered true online backup.
Blogging is big business and if you've invested hundreds or thousands of
hours writing blog posts you need to have the proper systems in place to
ensure that something as simple as disk failure at your web host doesn't
mean all your work is lost.
To help the blogging community we're giving a way a free plugin with 50 MiB
of free space on our secure servers.
