Thousands of computers are running around the clock, trying to break into WordPress sites. You never want them to succeed; if you aren’t prepared, your site will be toast for days, if not weeks. You may never regain your ranking or your traffic.

If you are prepared, though, you can be back up in an hour, maybe before Google ever notices you have been down. How do you get prepared? You make frequent backups of your site and the database that it uses. SO that if, despite all your prefcautions, your site is hacked, you can quickly restore it to operation.

The most famous backup tool for WordPress is BackupBuddy

. Thousands of sites use it regularly. It works and lets you recover quickly. The problem is the cost. Check out its sales page to see its costs.

Jens Steyaert wanted the same function, but he wanted to provide it:
• At a reasonable cost and
• For all websites, not just WordPress sites

So he created BackupPal, and a pal may even be better than a buddy.

Steyaert’s version of backup software gives you 4 main solutions you need:
1. Quickly back up your site to be prepared for the worst
2. Restore your site after the worst happens
3. Easily move your site from one hosting company to another (to get better service or better pricing)
4. Quickly clone your site to make another one like it (then you may make changes to the clone to serve a different niche)

With BackupPal, you can do all these things, so you have the flexibility to cope with whatever situation arises.

In this case, peace of mind is under $19 (although the price is rising). Get it here: BackupPal
