This is a life saver the old methods always were a pain to do. More so because i was backing up multiple sites biweekly.

Having the ability to manage backups jobs from the Admin panel saves me from having to log into my server. Every little convenience helps.

Thank you for this useful information, I usually backup my site manually cause I’m not good in technical things, this plugins information help me so much, I will try it. Thanks for the sharing.

Well for a couple of reasons:

1. The ability to backup directly from the admin panel (good for clients and one step backups).
2. The backup utility provided by hosting companies is not generally automated and scheduled.
3. Backup utilities provided by shared hosts (if that’s what you are referring to) generally do not backup your database and webroot at the same time. If you use Wordpress (or any CMS) you are missing half the equation.
4. These plugins backup everything you need for Wordpress, wp-content and it’s children and the database.

So yeah. Also keep in mind that these tools are intended for either clients or people who want to be assured their sites are backed up easily and automatically.

Nuff said (I think).

installing these ‘back up’ plug in will just eat up space lol why bother? I mean, if you’re on a hosted site they got this back up button ready for backing up in just a click

I agree, a manual data backup (or even automating it using a Cron job) from CPanel is a good way to go. The real intention of the post is for those who want a wordpress integrated solution. Good points overall.
