Hi Ste,

I use a neat little plugin that emails me the up to date database once a week. So if anything happens to my wordpress, I can reupload and be back to where I was a week ago.

Not only does it backup the core databse, but you have the option to choose additional tables as well. Some plugins add extra tables when you install them.

It's cools and it works. Warriors if you get a copy, please make a donation to the creator. - just a thought.

WordPress Database Backup – Austin Matzko's Blog

I use the same plugin Janet uses and it mails me a backup every week to a gmailaddress created especially for that purpose. Besides that I will download the wp-content folder to my computer everytime I make changes to my plugins or themes. With those two things i have everything I need if something goes wrong.

You may try using backwpup plugin. It is awesome plugin. It can upload your backup in other services too. however, you can get backup in the mail. this is how I take my backup:
1. daily db backup
2. weekly full site backup

i receive the backups in gmail. I delete them as soon as they come. but they are still in Trash. so, google will see i am deleting them . in Trash it will retain for enough days for me to recover . he he.

I use Backup Buddy which lets you do full backups of your site or database only. I have it mail me the database backup weekly and manually backup and download my site whenever I make major changes. It can save on your server, ftp to somewhere else or email. You can do it manually or on schedule.
