Hi Adam,
Glad I could help, I spent a lot of time trying to find a good solution that did not require a lot of technical skills to get it done.
I have been using Robert Plank’s Back Up Creator which obviously wasn’t available when you wrote this post. Have you checked it out?
Hi Jonathon
I don’t use any additional software now for backup except for a free backup plugin which is auto run each week and once a month I use the export function in WordPress –> Tools –> Export to make sure I have a fresh copy of my site. You can then simply install your WordPress blog on a new server and import all your settings including your theme onto the new blog.
The backup creator plugin looks like a good choice for anyone that is building WordPress blogs for clients especially if they are building the sites using all the same tools and plugins would make it very fast.
