Today, tested WordPress database recover backuped by “WordPress Database Backup”

1. I have set up WordPress Database Backup to backup WordPress database daily and email to my gmail account

2. download the last database backup file .sql.gz from gmail

3. open phpMyAdmin, choose import, and select .gz file downloaded

4. apply.

Succeed!

My backup plan:

1. Plugin using auto-update, and download plugins and other directories to local by FTP

2. WordPress Database backuped by “WordPress Database Backup“, and email to Gmail daily.

3. local files backup to Mozy.com daily.

Tested ADrive today in order to find online backup product.
ADrive offers 50GB free space, it’s amazing.
Scine there is no possible to maintain backup files with browser, ADrive client was tested directly.
I’m not satisfied with testing result. ADrive uses ftp as transport protocol with no security options(free user).
5 minutes after client installation, removed it.

ADriver is more suitable for large unimportant files backup, if you want to use up its 50GB free space.

I like Filezilla, because it has both Windows version and Linux version. FTP sites can Imported/Exported between the two OS platform. The XML file exported can be modified by a text editor, such as Notepad.exe or gedit.
