It’s 3AM. Is your web site backed up ?
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.
Buy SiteVault
Download a 30 day evaluation copy of SiteVault
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 ?
Our friends at Build and Succeed got hacked. That small screenshot is what Build and Succeed looked like when it got hacked. I am not gloryfing the crackers ( evil hackers) and I am not linking to the hacked website. Consider yourself warned… Make sure you have backup.

I am a big fan of backups…
My primary site, I have a copy of all the pages stored locally on my laptop for such cases…
My blog, I use a backup system as well that grabs the mysql database and stores it locally as well.
It sucks to loose data, good thing it hasn’t happened to me in over 12 years, although I did lose a microsoft outlook file once, but that will never happen again..
How do you like sitevault?

Our hosting company had issues with their database servers today and I have no back-up. I was really worried. I have downloaded a free apache utility for mysql to see what it’s like. I’ll have a go at the one you recommended as well.

Hi Marcel,
Have downloaded the trial - will install tonight.
I find for Wordpress blogs the Wordpress Database plugin is very useful as well - esp. as its other use (as well as backing up) is to optimize wordpress databases - making the site load faster.
thanks
