wp Time Machine
Create archives of all your WordPress data & files and have them stored remotely. That’s right! Remote storage of…
- Your data (from your WordPress MySQL database)
- Your files (and Uploads) — everything in wp-content
- Your .htaccess file
- Instructions for a smooth recovery
- A shell script that can help automate recovery — though this is still a “work in progress”
You provide the remote account; this plugin provides a connection to the offsite facility you choose. Choose from…
- You can use Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/
- Also, archives can be ‘sent’ to Amazon’s AWS S3: https://s3.amazonaws.com
- And, FTP is now supported as well (just provide an offsite host, username & password, and optionally a remote directory on that host)
Some recent improvements include:
- A new option to exclude cache directories
- Automatic exclusion of MySQL tables that don’t start with your table prefix
