Ok, there is now an option to use the public (no password required) feed instead.

If you are using WordPress why wouldn’t you just use WordPress Database Backup which emails your entire WordPress Database to an email address of your choice as often as you’d like, I have it set up to email my database once a day to a gmail address I’ve set up.

Better to get a reliable web host who does daily back-ups. It’s saved me on more than one occasion.

I’ve got a script that backs up my blog db daily, and another to copy my templates/images every other day.

I also do an rsync to my desktop every week or two as an extra DB.

I wouldn’t trust someone else to handle data like that. Just seems risky.

My system catches everything and is much more secure.

I’ve read this somewhere else before: http://occamsrazr.com/2008/03/03/backup-and-think/ a few hours earlier than this post. Odd.

Perhaps you can use a special user that can only read (cannot edit posts).

Hi Mike. Thanks for writing about BlogBackupr. I understan your concern, would you trust a WordPress plugin? I will add an option when you register that says something like “No thanks, just use the public feed”
