3nd Plugin to Install - BackUpWordPress

I like the idea of protecting the database against…. well ….  ME! I like backups.

I like this plugin because I can schedule the backups and I do not have to do them manually. For the totally paranoid, you can even have your backups mailed to you. Nice way to keep them on a different server.

I clicked on View in the Backup Presets area to see the full backup information. Now this is on a blog I just installed 30 minutes ago.

Your Database holds 349.85kB of Data.

Your Wordpress files in this backup use 5.4 MB of disk space.

Your Backup Archive filesize saved with preset full backup will be about 3.02 MB

Wow! I will try having it emailed to me just to see if it gets through with being such a large size.

I clicked on BackUp WordPress Now button that is on the BackUpWordPress tab. It took less than a minute to run. Check it out, my full backup size was only 1.7 MB, well under the predicted.
