We like to keep an eye on the blog of Matt Mullenweg’s, the big cheese at WordPress. And when they announced the development of something called VAULTPRESS, we got pretty excited. Vaultpress will  be a premium service offered by the AUTTOMATIC/WORDPRESS people to ensure your website or blog is always backed up and secure. Right now, it’s in it’s beta test stage and we’re hoping to get on the short list of testers.

What does this mean for you and your website? If you’re using your WordPress website for business, and don’t have a lot of experience backing up databases or your website, this baby may save your bacon one day.

VaultPress protects more than just your content. VaultPress understands the complete WordPress environment. This means your plugins, dashboard, themes, comments, and even your post revisions are all safeguarded and ready to be restored.

Earliest word is it may cost in the neighborhood of $30/month. That may be reason for you to learn the simple steps of backing up your website.  Nonetheless, we’ll be keeping our eye on this and keeping you informed. In the meantime, you can read a little more on the Vaultpress Service.
