Not able to download the plugin. The URL http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/automatic-wordpress-backup.zip is broken. Returns 404. Any other source to download the plugin?

The backup “only uploads files that have been changed since the last update.” So if I do want to backup all files, can I somehow trick the plugin by saying that the last update was, say, Jan. 1, 2000?

Why? S3 is secure and cheap. I wouldn’t choose no backup over s3 backup in the mean time.

sounds very nice melvin!

if I can do a complete backup on the entire blog or choose to backup certain directorys – and save it on my own server/host – then I´ll start use this plug!

keep up the good work!
I return…;)

Thanks mentioning that Jose. We’re going to add support for WP 3 soon but this will help people in the mean time. Also, glad you love the plugin. Hope you’ll share your thoughts on it in a review somewhere.

Hey folks,

I actually put in the line of code to get the blogs.dir directory for WPMU and WP3.0 Sites with Multiple Sites enabled. Just add to line 683:
$backups[] = WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/blogs.dir’;

Love the plugin, great job.

How about support for Multi Site WordPress 3 and WPMU? I’ve tried using the RC and it works but missed one pretty big directory for WPMU and WP3 MultiSites which is blogs.dir.

Good questions Matthew.

> Are you still going to allow for an option for us to zip up the whole site as one big package? For those of us with more memory and/or smaller sites …

It would be expensive and a big hassle to maintain as we continue improving the plugin so we’re not going to have the option to zip up the files.

> how will this effect site recovery? will it be automatic/transparent? will we be able to recover from a specific date since this is essentially an incremental backup?

You’ll still be able to restore from a specific date, given that you’ve got WordPress installed and the AWB 2.0 plugin activated.

We’re working out the details of how a manual restore (without WP + AWB installed) would go. We likely won’t have a way to do a manual restore in the next version but it’ll be the next priority after we release.
