For those you you running on Media Temple’s popular grid server service (gs), I have found a handy little backup tool that can backup your web server to Amazon’s Amazon S3 web storage.
No matter what you’re running, static HTML sites, Drupal, WordPress, or any other flavor, the (gs) backup can handle it.
You can backup individual site files, ftp folders and any of your databases.

In the process of nailing down a decent backup solution for multiple WordPress sites, I came across a new system that will be launching next month.
There are plenty of solid solutions in the marketplace, VaultPress being one; however, dropping $15 per site, per client, is not an option for me.
ManageWP is a very curious product, since backuping up your WordPress site is the least of what it does.
This thing is packed full of awesomeness.

Ever since the Automatic WordPress Backup broke, I’ve been on the hunt for a good backup system.
I found one plugin that was really close to getting the job done, but would crash when backing up larger blogs. This was a dangerous solution, since I had no idea if the backup file was bad unless I tried to open it. This is a situation you never want to find yourself in:
Your server died, and by the way, your backup is toast, too.
Besides, ideally I want to backup my entire server. Not all the sites I host are built on WordPress, so a plugin doesn’t quite do the trick, anyway.
Diving a little deeper into things, I found a few options.

I’ve been waiting on pins and needles for the last day and half to hear John tell me the migration from ChurchMag was finished. This is no small feat.
You’re talking about moving a database of 8,000 plus posts and over 46,000 comments. I won’t even tell you haw many gigs we use for images, since you might actually stop breathing.
Hat’s-off to John for slaving away at this for the past day and half!
If you’re wondering why we’ve switched services, it’s because we’ve had some serious hiccups the past two months with our former (it feels good to say, ‘former’) server provider. John and the 8BIT team threw in a number of different names and services, and after talking with a few different companies, the decision was very clear.
