I was working on a third blog at the beach today when I installed a plugin and it crashed my website. I called tech support to get the problem fixed. Tech support unplugged all the plugins and it fixed the problem. Then I went in and reinstalled the plugins I knew that were working correctly. This blog is about using more then one “backup plan.”
My hosting company backs my website up twice a week as apart of my hosting plan, but I want more of a backup plan. I will be using BackWPup to have a backup of at least once a day.
BackWPup is by Inpsyde GmbH Here is more information about the plugin,”
