This plugin is simple but quite effective. I had never worked with Dropbox, but as a result of installing the plugin, I signed up and am really liking it. (Yes, I used your referral link — you’re welcome!) It’s quite cool to click the backup button on the plugin page and almost instantly see the files downloading to my local computer (and knowing they’re on Dropbox as well).
Now, I haven’t had to put the restore procedure to the test, but just having the backup is reassuring.
So there are only 2 things I can think of that would improve the tool:
- Backup wp-config.php — but this may be a security issue which might be addressed in the plugin docs, which I should re-read.
- Add an interface to schedule a recurring backup. I realize this could be done manually with cron jobs etc., but I’m sure many people would appreciate the feature.
Really great work here — simple and elegant, but does the job. Thanks!
