What’s an option so that I only download and backup those files that have changed, instead of all of my content daily/weekly.

Rhett.

This is one way to do it. I don't put my trust in plugins as much as others do…

John,

What about this WP Database Backup plugin I saw? Is that useful? Does that do this job, or not really? I started using that a month ago and everynight the file is emailed to me for the blog backup. But that seems like it's not really doing sufficiently what you describe here.

You can, but, you don't have to if you don't want to in this tutorial.

Timely post for me. In the last couple weeks I've become very aware of the need to back everything up. Is there value in backing up your MySql database too?
