   What would you recommend to use to backup site content?

   Periodically use FTP to backup your WordPress files.

   Use a plugin to backup your database every day and have the file emailed to you.

   See WordPress Backups

   I have installed and configured the wpBackup.
   The option I do not see if I can schedule the backup or do manual backup.. advise? should I use different plug-in than wpBackup?
   Also it backups sql database... how do I restore it? it lets me download the file from the backup but not directly restore the database...

   These plugins will schedule backups:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/

   See Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup.

   I have done the backup and tried all option all looks good.
   Thanks for advise.
   one little warning message I have that won't go away

   Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public

   To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /homepages/0/d288471900/htdocs/wp-content/backup-db

   I did move that file to wp-content/backup-db
   Although it is not .htaccess file but htaccess.txt

   how do i get rid of this message?

   Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess if you haven't already.

   I have the same issues with my backup folder " MIGHT" be visible to the public.

   Where do I go to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess?

   Thanks

   webcelt - use FTP to login to your host and navigate to the folder that message specifies (the folder that holds your backups) and rename the file.

   Thanks for your answer. I cannot find a folder that might have my backups. Any suggestions or a process to work through?

   Thanks
