My hosting company does nightly, two nightly, weekly, and fortnightly backups and, yes, that is a must.

However, one never knows if a hosting company will disappear. It has happened.

They’re very open about recommending everyone keep an offsite backup and aside from usual FTP drag and drop, backing up databases, etc., they give the option of a complete and total automated backup of everything once a month.

So I have both my WordPress installations send my databases backed up each and every day to a Gmail account. I keep a copy on my computer. I backup to an external hard drive every week or two. And my hosting company has their backup plan.

All of this doesn’t really take much time once it’s set up right. The database backups to Gmail, for example, happen automatically, daily.

I just bought an external hard drive so I wouldn’t have to deal with anything like this.

Thank you for your strategies they will help a alot.

I was told to breath in, breath out and move on.

I just lost my blog 14 months old or so and all gone. Little matter, at least I can start clean.

On the other hand, because of a bad divorce I have not seen my kids for 461 days (as I type). Take things in perspective. Lost data does not matter.
