UPDATE 2: Automatic WordPress Backup 2 is now available.
UPDATE 1: Beta now available for download at http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/automatic-wordpress-backup.zip. Please leave comments, questions & feedback below.
——————
Alright, we’ve got the next version of the Automatic WordPress Backup plugin ready for testing. There are 2 big update areas in this release.
Updated Database Export Method
One of the core issues a lot of people were having was getting the plugin to work on their dedicated or virtual private servers. The new approach should be able to handle database exports (aka “mysql dumps”) much better. This means the plugin should work with a lot more hosting providers.
Restore
Backing up a WordPress website is only half of equation. What happens when disaster does strike? You restore. The restore feature built into the new version of AWB makes it a 3-click process to bring back an old version of your website. There really isn’t much more to say about this feature because it’s just dead simple. You have to just try it for yourself.
Beta Testers Needed
We’ve gotten this plugin working smoothly on our hosting platform (Rackspace Cloud Sites) but we have no idea how it will perform on the multitude of hosting providers in the world. That is where we need help. We need those of you who would like to be adventurous enough to try the new version to try out the plugin and report back any problems you might have.
If you’re interested, please leave a comment below and I’ll get in touch with you via email in the next couple days.

Hi there, I found your blog via Google while searching for first aid for a heart attack and your post
looks very interesting for me.
I appreciate your work on the plugin and am hoping for a bit of help getting it going. I get the error. “It looks like all the requirements for this plugin are not being met so it will probably not work. Click here for details.” and at the bottom of the page:
Server OS Linux Linux (or compatible)
PHP Version 5.1+ 5.2.14
Uploads Folder Exists and writeable
curl Installed
shell_exec Enabled
zip Not found
It seems that the problem is “Zip Not Found”. But I’m hoping for some guidance as to what this means. I’m on Godaddy – Grid – Deluxe – Linux.
I assume that I need to install the ‘zip’ software on the server, but am not sure what that is.
Any help is appreciated!
