Thinking about it, even techies find back-ups dull. Everyone finds back-ups dull. So who&#8217;s going to read this? Dunno, I&#8217;m writing it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Ourtour.co.uk runs on a WordPress.org blog. This means it uses the WordPress content management system (CMS), but it doesn&#8217;t run on the WordPress servers at WordPress.com. Told you this was going to be techie, and a wee bit dull.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the blog runs on servers in, wait for it, Texas, USA. I&#8217;m forever amazed by how well the Internet works as I sit in the middle of no-where on a beach in Greece, the posts we write wing their way across Europe, the Atlantic and half of the USA in a fraction of a second. Anyway, there&#8217;s a huge hosting company over there called <a href=\"http:\/\/secure.hostgator.com\/~affiliat\/cgi-bin\/affiliates\/clickthru.cgi?id=nc30parts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hostgator<\/strong><\/a>, and they&#8217;ve been doing a great job of running our blog on a shared server, as we&#8217;ve experimented with various weird and wonderful bits of functionality over the past couple of years.<\/p>\n<p>Hostgator take weekly back-ups of our blog. For WordPress, this means they have to take a copy of the MySQL database (which holds the post text and all the various meta-data), all the files and photos we uploaded, the themes which determine how the site&#8217;s laid out, the plug-in (bolt-on) functionality we uploaded plus other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So, if Hostgator are taking back-ups, why bother with anything else? Good question. One answer&#8217;s the fact the site could conk out just before a weekly back-up, meaning we&#8217;d lose a week&#8217;s worth of posts. Also, if we wanted to restore just a single file or a few files, we&#8217;d probably not be able to. Maybe more importantly, we&#8217;ve no idea what Hostgator&#8217;s response might be to doing a restore &#8211; it might take them a week if a whole load of sites crash at once?<\/p>\n<p>Next point, one I&#8217;m not proud of, as someone with 18 years of corporate IT experience weighing on my shoulders, I always knew we should be backing up the site ourselves. I never bothered though until, you guessed it, Hostgator had to roll out an emergency patch without telling anyone and we thought for a couple of hours we lost the entire site. Sick feeling.<\/p>\n<p>One reason we&#8217;ve not run a back-up was cost. We can&#8217;t back-up the site by doing a database dump and FTPing this and all the files to a local PC as the site&#8217;s now about 16GB, made up of 60,000 files. We&#8217;re usually on 3G internet, which means this option&#8217;s a non-starter, too slow, too expensive, probably simply wouldn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>Next option was to use a free back-up plug-in to push the database and files across to some cloud storage of some flavour. Doing a bit of checking, <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/\u200e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Google Drive<\/strong><\/a> was the cheapest for us, $2.49 a \u00a0month for 25GB, and we could cancel at any time. Next job: find a free plug-in which backs up to Google Drive. If Dropbox had been the cheapest then I&#8217;d have used <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Backup to Dropbox<\/strong><\/a>, as I&#8217;ve used this on smaller sites and it works fine.<\/p>\n<p>Coming across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stateofsearch.com\/top-6-wordpress-backup-plugin-recommendations-for-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>this blog post<\/strong><\/a>, BackWPup looked like a good option, as it said Google Drive is supported. Doing a bit of digging I found it&#8217;s not though. Okey dokey. More hunting about found <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/updraftplus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Updraftplus<\/strong><\/a>, again free, and this one supports Google Drive. Winner. We bought the storage, installed the plug-in, faffed about following the instructions to get various codes to enable the plug-in to talk to the storage and set the back-up running.<\/p>\n<p>Several failed attempts later we gave up. As far as I can tell, Updraftplus was attempting to add every single file into a single ZIP container before copying this over to Google Drive. It stalled again and again and eventually I gave up.<\/p>\n<p>Even with all the free time in the world you (I) get fed up trying to get stuff to work. Back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stateofsearch.com\/top-6-wordpress-backup-plugin-recommendations-for-2013\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>that blog article<\/strong><\/a> again, the number 1 recommendation was <a href=\"http:\/\/vaultpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VaultPress<\/strong><\/a>, but at $15 a month, we weren&#8217;t too keen. Hang on though, what&#8217;s this, a basic option&#8217;s come available since the article was written, for only $5 a month. As the VaultPress solution includes the cloud storage, it&#8217;s suddenly become far more palatable. Hunting around their site I could find no mention of a limitation on the size of the site, so went ahead and coughed up.<\/p>\n<p>A few hours later:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11230\" style=\"width: 953px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11230\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11230\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress.jpg\" alt=\"Still going, but it's fast!\" width=\"943\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress.jpg 943w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11230\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still going, but it&#8217;s fast and seems to be working a treat.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So far, so good. VaultPress was seamless to install and run. It will keep 30 days of daily back-ups (so if we want to restore from a few days ago, we can), and includes an automated restore process, so no need to faff about copying files around by hand. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/vaultpress.com\/plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>other plans available<\/strong><\/a> which include immediate back-ups whenever you change anything, security scans and the like, but they&#8217;re a bit too much for our needs.<\/p>\n<p>So, for the grand total of \u00a33.30 a month, we have the warm feeling of knowing all this stuff we type (and you type when you add comments) is being copied somewhere safe.<\/p>\n<p>Dull, but important. A bit like going to the dentist.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Jay<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11233\" style=\"width: 953px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress-Finished.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11233\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11233\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress-Finished.jpg\" alt=\"It's just finished, backed-up the whole site from scratch in just a few hours, that's impressive.\" width=\"943\" height=\"692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress-Finished.jpg 943w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/VaultPress-Finished-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s just finished, backed-up the whole site from scratch in just a few hours, that&#8217;s impressive.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As our blog grew, we realised that the website back-up provided by the hosting company may not be enough.
