Backup is always required for any valuable items we have and on the web our blog is our most valuable identity, so why not take its back and secure all your posts, plugins, themes etc, so that if something goes wrong you should not have to worry.

Recently we have released our simple backup plugin named wpSimpleBackup, which will take backup to cloud files, Amazon S3 or FTP to other server.

What wpSimpleBackup can do? wpSimpleBackup take the full back of your wordpress blog including database, plugins, themes, uploads and save it to your chosen option among rackspace cloud files, Amazon S3 or FTP.

How to install and use? Installing this plugin  is the  same process as  any other wordpress plugins  requires,  you need to copy the wpsimplebackup directory to your wordpress plugins directory and activate it from the admin panel.

Plugin will give you options to chose backup storage among three options, and then need to do the service setting for the chosen storage. You then need to give a container/folder name where it’s going to save the backups. Name of the zip file to identify your backup files. And most important you can do scheduling, take backup daily, weekly and monthly or if you wish you can take backup manually also. An another good feature is you can restrict your backup up to some numbers like last 5 backups or 3 etc. Then save the setting and you are done.

How your backup’s will look?

You can view all your backups from admin panel itself and have facility to delete it or restore it from there only. So this will also going to help you if you simply need to do migration.
