Thank heaven for the WordPress backup plugin

I use the WordPress Database Backup plugin to send automated backups of my blog to a dedicated Gmail account on a daily basis. When the disk filled up on my server, the blog database was corrupted. Fortunately, it was the work of about 10 minutes to restore from the backup. Thank heaven for fire-and-forget backup strategies!

    Good tip, I am always scared of not having enough backups… This might soothe me :-)
