Here are some tough questions every online marketer needs to ask:

• If your website gets hacked, how will you recover?
• If your hosting company goes under, how will you recover?
• If your server crashes, how will you recover?
• If your hosting company give you poor support, how will you escape to a better host?

In all these cases, you need a good backup of your website, made in advance, stored at an offsite location that you can use to restore your site to normal.

Offsite is important. Don’t entrust your backup to the same server that holds you site. In a disaster, you would lose any backups on your server. The hacker corrupts them; the server loses them; the hosting company can’t or won’t supply them once the problem occurs.

For WordPress sites, there is a solution made to put your mind at ease: Ultimate Snapshot.

With this new WordPress plugin, you can create and save backups at will. (Save as many versions as you need to be safe.)

And you can save your backup on a remote server: Amazon S3, Dropbox, and even Google Drive. In fact, you can save your backup on any server that supports FTP.

With Ultimate Snapshot, you can create manual backups whenever you need them, and you can schedule automated backups as frequently as you choose (monthly, daily, hourly or even more frequently, depending on how frequently your site is updated).

This way, when you need a backup, it will be there. With Ultimate Snapshot, your site will always be backed up and ready to restore (and the whole process can all be automated.)

Besides using this plugin to backup your site and migrate it to another host, you can also use it clone your site to build other sites with similar functions. For example, we could clone IM NewsWatch to make Automobile NewsWatch and Rugby NewsWatch.

That way, we would get the same plugins and themes on the new sites; we would just add new content.

Ultimate Snapshot is much less expensive than well-known backup software. It has several licensing options, including a 5-site option for only $17.

If you realize your site isn’t adequately protected from disasters, get all the details on this new option and get your own copy here: Ultimate Snapshot.
