I accidentally deleted my blog, only to find my latest backup wasn't as recent as I would have liked. I now have my blogged backed up and emailed to me every day. I keep 2 copies in my backup blog email folder at all times. On top of that, I backup the server the blog is on daily to an external hard drive. But it took the pain of making that mistake to finally kick my own butt into gear. Learn from my mistake. Here's the wordpress plug-in I use: http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/ Use it!

One more easy way to keep a back up is to export your blog files to your local computer periodically. This way you have a local copy that can be imported if necessary. This is a great tool Drew!
