## Description

This plugin will do a backup of your WordPress database and, or your files in wp-
content/uploads and saves
 it somewhere safe. You can have the backup saved in your
[Dropbox account](http://db.tt/9Jo39Xy), a FTP account of your choise, your account
with [Online File Folder](http://www.securepaynet.net/email/online-file-storage.aspx?ci=1796&prog_id=xaviermedia&isc=xmbackup),
or have the backup emailed to you (not recommended for large files). You can select
to have the backups named the same every day or to have a date added to each file
name.

This plugin requires PHP, cURL, PHP compiled with ZIP support, and Oauth (for Dropbox).

** NO WARRANTY SUPPLIED! **

** Make sure you test your Backups! **

## Installation

 1. Upload `xm-backup/xm-backup.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Go to the ‘XM-Backup’ menu option under ‘Settings’ to specify the the backup options
    like where the backup should
     be saved, which files to backup and if it should 
    be done on an automated basis.

## FAQ

  The backups aren’t emailed to me?

Switch to FTP delivery instead of using the email option. FTP is the best way to
deliver large files and the
 email options should really only be used for small 
new blogs, or if you ONLY backup a small WordPress database (less than 1 Mb in size).

  I get errors creating the ZIP file?

You need of course to have PHP compiled with ZIP. Ask your web hoting provider to
compile PHP with ZIP for you
 or check out this blog post from [Xavier Media®](http://www.xaviermedia.com/webbing/)
where it’s showed how you can do it on your own server using cPanel.

  I get maximum memory allocated error! Why?

You have too little memory in your server to do a backup of that many/large files.
This is usually a problem for people
 hosting on a shared hosting account where 
the hosting company is using a cheap server with little memory. Select fewer files
to backup, or switch to only backup the database.

  My mailbox gets full!

Yes, this is a problem if you have large files emailed to you. Try cleaning up the
old backups, or switch to FTP
 delivery of the backups.
