How do you backup and extract a WordPress site?
Automattic the company behind WordPress has a solution called VaultPress (http://vaultpress.com/features/).
VaultPress provides realtime, continuous backup and synchronization of every post, comment, media file, revision and dashboard setting across at least two separate cloud services in addition to the Automattic grid, ensuring no loss of content. How? Using WordPress hooks to receive alerts when information changes on your site, VaultPress immediately syncs all of
your changes with our servers. The net result? 11 copies of your data,
backed up continuously and in realtime.
Once again its paid service and one that has been highly recommended (in WordPress user group meetings) by those who have been using the service . As for my self I did get an invite to join during the beta/invite only period, however I am yet to use the service for my personal sites.
One can consider other solution mentioned here. However my recommendation is to go with VaultPress for the services it provides beyond just a online backup such as pushing fixes to zero-day security vulnerabilities and monitoring intrusions. VaultPress is brought to you by some of the world’s most experienced WordPress developers, including the team behind WordPress.com.
