First I need to ask you? Do you backup your blogs? If not, you should! Because all the efforts you put into writing, advertising, marketing and administrating your blog can go straight to waste if appropriate "backup" measures are not taken in time. Even though many hosting companies make backups of your account, it is still a must to have your own ones. As you never know when a disastrous failure can take place, having few restoration points is reasonable thing.
There are several backup plugins for WordPress to help you fighting with issues of this sort. Instead of going through the trial and error like myself you need to choose the right wordpress backup plugin for you, let’s make the choice easier! Here is a little review of the four most popular backup plugins: Backup Creator, DBC Backup, WP-DBManager, WP-DB-Backup. I decided to rate them according to the following requirements:

Automatic or Manual
user-friendly Interface
1) Backup Creator (My Personal Favourite)

5) VaultPress

How? Using WordPress hooks to receive alerts when information changes on your site, VaultPress immediately syncs all of your changes with our servers. The net result? 11 copies of your data, backed up continuously and in realtime.
Monthly payment plans, nah aint for me.
