backups nn online

So what exactly is online backup? As opposed to online storage (which has its own set of services), it’s simply letting a software/web service model automatically backup your data over the Internet so you never have to worry about doing it — that is of course, until you lose it, in which case it’s a simple one-click-restore. We reviewed, tested, and played around with a whole set of online backup services, and out of the ones we liked, here are the top 5 — all with a guarantee to save your life!

- Verdict
  
  Xdrive is the strongest option on this list. It features a reasonable and affordable pricing plan (that is, should you need more than 5GB), and its software is truly more evolved, lag-free, bug-free, tightly-integrated, not to mention a tad more beautiful than some of the other options. Also, it include a number of cool features that you won’t find elsewhere — such as the ability to navigate your Xdrive file-system on your PDA. Oh, did we mention? It’s owned by AOL, so you probably won’t ever have to worry about losing your data.

Download of the Day: FileHamster (Windows) - Lifehacker

backups free freeware nn software win

Windows only: FileHamster makes real-time backups of your files as you work.

Though designed with artists in mind, the program has applications for anyone who could benefit from having incremental backups of their documents. Any time you save your active document, FileHamster copies it to a specified folder. Subsequent saves are stored incrementally as revisions. You can add comments to each revision so you have a record of the changes (if necessary). The software lets you designate individual files and/or folders to be "watched" for backups. It even supports a handful of plug-ins, including logs, notes and Zip compression.

FileHamster is easy to configure, and it works quickly and quietly in the background. Even so, you might want to peek at the wiki to get a better idea for how the program operates; the main site is a little vague. FileHamster is free; it requires Windows 2000 or later and .NET 2.0. Thanks, Adam! —Rick Broida

WordPress Plugins To Help You Administer Your Blog « Lorelle on WordPress

backups plugins wordpress

The number one tool for backing up your blog is the WordPress Database Backup Plugin. The newest version backs up your database with an option to backup automatically, on a schedule of your choice. You can set it to backup hourly, daily, or weekly. Backups can be automatically emailed to you, too. And it works with WordPress 2.1.

This doesn’t cover backing up your WordPress Theme and Plugins, and any changes you make to your WordPress setup. That you still have to do yourself. See Backing Up WordPress for details on how to do this.
Under Maintenance WordPress Plugin makes your blog temporarily unavailable with an easy-to-customize message, alerting visitors who may be worried.

- WP-Outage WordPress Plugin and Site Unavailable WordPress Plugin include setting the amount of time the site will be done and gives Administrators a chance to see the message or see the site as normal when the site is unavailable. Also check out Site Maintenance WordPress Plugin.
- If all else fails, make sure you have a good 404 Page Not Found Error, such as the Dunstan Style Error Page WordPress Plugin. It adds a 404 page error page similar to the one by Dustan Orchard with a lot of options to help the lost visitor. That error page is one of the best I’ve seen in a while.
- Future Posts Calendar Plugin provides a calendar on the Write Post panel to show you when you have upcoming posts, and when you don’t. If you work with future posts a lot, this will help you determine how many posts you have coming out on which day, and which days you have none, so you can fill in the blank.
- WP ServerInfo Plugin provides information about your blog’s server on your Administration Panels, including versions of MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin that related to WordPress. It makes no changes to your database, just provides information.
- Diagnosis WordPress Plugin adds a subpanel to the WordPress Administration Panels so the administrator can look under the hood at the technical information about the WordPress installation, server information, and other technical goodies.
- WordPress Cache Inspect let’s you monitor your WordPress cache and clear it manually if it needs it.
- Role Manager, originally by David House and Owen Winkler and now managed by Im Web Gefunden, is a great way of controlling the level of access users, contributors, and editors have on your WordPress blog. You can customize the different levels of access for each user, allowing them to see only what you want them to see, as well as edit only what they are permitted to edit.
- The WordPress Installer - The Plugin by Matt Read, which I reviewed last year, is a must-have WordPress Plugin. The WordPress Installer connects with WP-Plugins.net to help you find, install, and manage your WordPress Plugins. Not all WordPress Plugins are designed to interact with the WordPress Plugin Installer, but many new ones do.
- Page Links To WordPress Plugin is another 301 or 302 Redirect Plugin to help manage URLs when you move things around.
- Permalinks Migration adds an Admin Panel for redirecting URLs from old addresses to new ones when you change your permalink structure or a post slug name.
- Download Counter also tracks the number of downloads from your blog through an Admin panel.
- phpMyAdmin WordPress Plugin is a favorite of mine. It allows access to your WordPress Database through phpMyAdmin from within your WordPress Admin Panels.
- Update Manager WordPress Plugin helps you keep your plugins updated. Going down the Plugin list to click every Plugin author’s page to look for updates is a pain. Update Manager checks in with the WP-Plugins.net database for any new updates or information related to the Plugins you have installed on your blog.
- Clutter Free lets you hide portions of the WordPress posting interface that you rarely (or never) use. Instead of being minimized (and still taking up room), they’ll be completely invisible. Clutter Free completely removes out the Post Preview, i.e. it doesn’t just hide it and so you save a good deal of bandwidth and loading time. If you are using the WYSIWYG editor then it works wonders because the editor only loads once the entire page is loaded.
