If you have a WordPress website, then you need to read this article.
There are 2 types of people in this world –
- those who backup their WordPress sites,
- and those who don’t.
If you don’t backup your WordPress site, or you do and there’s even just one thing you’re dissatisfied about with your backup system, then read on.
On the other hand, if you’re completely happy with your WordPress backups, then you can stop reading and get on with more important things in your life.
WorpDrive is completely automated WordPress Backup
Is there such a thing?
There is now.
Sure, you can go and download WP-WordPress-Backup-My-Site-Buddy plugin, set it up to FTP to another server, or copy it to your Amazon S3 etc., and try and get that working on all your sites…
Below are just some of the steps you would have done with traditional backup methods:
- Downloading the plugin
- Upgrading the plugin when there are updates to the plugin or to WordPress
- Setting the schedule
- Buying the extra FTP/Amazon S3/Dropbox space to store the backups.
- Setting up your FTP/Amazon S3/Dropbox settings to store the backups
- Paying for your FTP/Amazon S3/Dropbox accounts
- Managing security for your account – you do password rotation, right?
- Commenting on the forums because the plugin isn’t working today (it was yesterday) because you have ‘Out of Memory’ errors.
- Deleting old backups so you don’t run out of space
- ALL the work involved in creating a restore
- Recovering your site after its been hacked only to realise your backups are compromised too as they’re part of your WordPress site!
- And the list goes on …
WorpDrive on the other hand is as streamlined as it can get.
The 3 Steps to Full Backup Automation with WorpDrive.
Here’s what you need to do to put in place a daily, fully-automated backup schedule with WorpDrive…
- Open up a free iControlWP account (1 minute)
- Add your WordPress site to your iControlWP dashboard (2 minutes)
- Activate and pay for your WorpDrive (time taken to activate depends on the size/content of your site)
That’s it. Seriously.
Once you’ve activated your WorpDrive site, it’ll be scheduled to automatically backup your WordPress in full (files and database) every day.
You don’t have to worry about:
- running out of disk space on your server to temporarily hold any huge ZIP files
- running out of PHP memory errors
- huge processing resources for creating ZIP files (WorpDrive doesn’t use ZIP!)
- your backups being hacked if your WordPress site has been hacked – it’s independent.
This is all coming with the soon-to-be-released WorpDrive!
