I have been backing up my site like crazy. Now that i have a site that is doing well i dont want anything to happen to it. How does a database become corrupt anyway?

Only 4 days ago I ftp’d into the wrong account and deleted all the files, the backup was so-so, loads of ongoing changes, now I’m running backwards.

Greg you are right, I also believe the previous two comments are of the “SEO Book Changes Business Model” and not to this post.

Thank you for the plugin, I will take a look at it just now. (and will also move the comments to the proper post page)

I think something still might be messed up in the DB structure. Your comments are not registering properly. On the front page, for this post, it shows Zero comments however this will actually be the third. Additionally above the comments on this page is says that there are No Comments.

Additionally, just to thwart this all happening to you again I would recommend using the WP DB Backup Plugin found here: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wordpress-plugins/

You can set it to just compress and email you a backup so it’s completely hands off and at the worst if it all tanked again you’d only miss a day or 2. It can handle extra DB fields too so if you’re running non-standard plugins on your database, that info will be archived too.

Cheers!

It is a drastic change when i saw that it will stop on Feb 20th midnight, but i think the people who didn’t get a chance to get the book missed out on alot. I think aaron is looking for his own financial benefit and i think it will be a smart business strategy to go onto monthly subscribing.

Yep, I got this e-mail. Hopefully this business model change works out well…
