How often do you backup your Wordpress content? I was doing a manual backup from time to time for all three of my blogs and had just installed a plugin that would e-mail me a daily back up on Suncoast Scribe when I lost access to my Plus1 and GirlyThing1 blogs.

Now, I did not have access to the files that would have allowed me to install this automatic backup on the two blogs that were being hosted fro free, but I could have remembered to manually backup more often. That is me culpa 100%. I still do not have access to the files to do a backup now, but I suppose that is a mute point.

If you have your own hosting or even access to install the Wordpress plugins of your own choosing, make sure you download and utilize one of the plugins that will generate an automatic backup of your files. I was reading Lucia’s blog today and her post reminded me that I needed to install a plugin to do backups on both this blog and One Clear Dot.

The install and activation took me a combined 3 minutes for both blogs. It may have actually taken less time, but I went for a drink of water somewhere in the middle. It was quite close to effortless and in the end, priceless.
