Backing up WordPress to dropbox

July 26, 2015

I found a great little plugin this week.

Titled "WordPress Backup to Dropbox" is free, with a couple of "premium" addons if you want to zip up your backups or receive email notification on success or failure.

It initially backs up all designated folders, and then on a schedule you determine it runs an incremental backup daily, weekly etc.

Support seems a little lax, as I encountered a problem which other users had also come across, but there was evidently no solution.

The problem was that the plugin stopped backing up after a change to the configuration - in my case I simply requested that the backups were saved in a named sub-folder.

The solution turned out to be quite simple, de-activate and delete the plugin completely, clear any cached files, and re-install - designating the correct sub-folder BEFORE attempting a backup.

Cruisy!
