Weekend Backups
Over the weekend I did a backup of my RSS feeds, and created backup files for my Wordpress blog.
How often do I do this? Not often enough. So, I’ve added both items to my monthly task list, and that might help me remember to keep the backup files up to date.
I also have a Maxtor external hard drive on both my computers, and they do an automatic overnight backup.
How about you? Did you do a backup recently?

I do them about once every week, but on and off skip a week so I'm not very strict with this. I know I should do more.
When I do a backup, it is mostly just my data.
I have two 8 Gb USB sticks which I swap each week with my in-laws so my backup is also outside of the office. Should disaster happen I'll have my data safely stashed away (it may be as old as two weeks though).

There's a WP plugin that does automatic scheduled backups for you. It's called Wordpress Database Backup and you can get it here:

I have my db emailed to me every week.
