Everytime I change my widget, I backup my blog.

I got your points. I never aware of this backup plan until one of my blogs been hacked a month ago. Since then, I backup my blogs weekly with three ways. WordPress backup, database backup thru PhpMyAdmin and thru the plugin.

Also don't forget to make backup if you want to upgrade your wordpress version or just use the automatic backup plugin. Sometimes we modify the php files so don't forget to backup the files before we overwrite them with the new one.

I agree with you that we have to prepare before we regret at the end of the day.

It is possible to do automatic backup with a plugin. Don't know if there's actually a plugin for that but a bit modification on the code will allow you to do that.

Of course, my preferred method would be to use the server command line (linux) to dump database and copy all files over the another computer. Rsync, for instance, allows you to sync and do an incremental backup instead of copying everything every time.

Automation indeed is the key to regular backup. If it takes repetitive steps, most people will only skip that.

Does this post have anything to do with the fact that bloggingtips was down yesterday???

I stopped by a couple times, and it wasn't available.
