WordPress Backup Plugin by Blog Traffic Exchange

About a year and a half ago we wrote about how to backup your WordPress blog. In that post, we covered a few different WordPress plugins to manage your database backups, and explained why that was so important.

For the record, the plugin I primarily recommended back then and still prefer today is the WP-DB Manager plugin. This plugin allows you to backup and restore databases, as well as delete database tables, giving users full control over their database backups.

Unfortunately, that plugin only creates a backup for your database. What about everything else? WordPress blogs have a theme (or multiple themes), many use several WordPress plugins, and most bloggers use images that you’ve created to help draw attention to your posts or to illustrate a point.

Blog Exchange Traffic decided to fix this with their WordPress plugin release, the WordPress Backup plugin. This plugin backups up your themes, plugins, images, and gives you the option to download these backups or have them emailed to you (this only works if it is a smaller sized backup). WordPress Backup also works along side the WP-DB Manager plugin mentioned above, so it is recommended that you use both.

What do you use to manage your WordPress backups?
