Title: Automatic Cloud Back Up

Creating a back up of your WordPress website or blog is extremely important and practical, but it can be annoying or a pain. There are tons of ways to set up automatic back ups that either e-mail you the file or store them on your PC or web space, but what if that crashes?

Well iDrive has a plug-in that you can install on your WordPress powered website that will automatically back up your files in the cloud, meaning on the web, more precisely on their web space, and it’s FREE up to 2GB which is probably more than enough for most.

Here are some of the features:

• Immediate backup of WordPress blog data, both files as well as MySQL data dump, into your IDrive online backup account
• Scheduled backups occur after 12 midnight every day
• Immediate restore of backed up data from your IDrive online backup account
• Smart backup – Only the first backup transfers entire WordPress content, subsequent backups are incremental where only the modified data is backed up
• Automatic notification via email on backup / restore status
• Secure transfer of data to IDrive server using SSL. Non SSL transfer option is also available for non SSL servers
• Detailed logging of backup / restore operations
