Thanks man!

Yeah... I use a plugin that automatically backs up the whole database and emails it to me. Daily. I save a month's worth of backups so if something goes ugly or gets hacked, I can walk it back to when it WORKED. :)

Sounds like a good plugin, whats the name of it if you don't mind sharing?

WP-backup!

Please be aware, though, that the WP export function only backs up internal-to-wordpress portions of your database.

If you use plugins that store information in DB fields (such as PodPress), this will not keep that data safe.

For that, I suggest you use WP-DB-Backup

Chris, This simple post was invaluable for those of use who work hard to create the content and might overlook something critical like making sure we have that content protected. Can't thank you enough.
