I’m buying website backup software called SiteVault. I tested it a few times. I’m convinced SiteVault will protect me from future mess ups by backing up website files and MySQL data files.

Why am I buying this?

One my favorite webhosts has been losing entire websites. To protect the guilty party, I won’t provide names yet. Shockingly they keep no backup. Maybe they don’t want to keep me, but I’ll deal with that later. They did offer to give me 1 month of free hosting. Fortunately, only my nonsignificant websites were harmed.

Anyway… I should have established a better backup system. With SiteVault, backups will happen daily, and I’ll receive emails confirmations to prove it.

Tip

If you decide to buy SiteVault, make sure you are clearly identify the directories that should be grabbed. Appartently SiteVault won’t download all folders in a directory unless you say which ones you want.

Summary:

I purchased SiteVault backup software. SiteVault is a website Backup FTP & MySQL backup tool. It backs up your entire ftp directory and the mysql databases you specify. And do I really have to explain how backing up your website is related to financial success ?

Need another reason to backup and upgrade your software ?

20 Tips for Batching to Save Time and Cut Stress: “Collect up a group of similar activities and do them all at the same time. This is the main principle behind batching. You could collect up all your e-mail answering, household chores, reading assignments or phone calls and do them at one time.”

Darren Rowse at How Batch Processing Made Me 10 Times More Productive: “I have discovered that most of the activities that I do in my work can be ‘batched’ in one way or another. I have discovered that many ‘urgent’ things can wait and in fact to make them ‘take a number’ and ‘get in line’ brings order to mess.”
