Looking to "MOVE" or "BACKUP" your Wordpress site on .siterubix or any server.
A plugin called "BackWPup", Well I tried using "Duplicator" but it requires server access and as I explained earlier we just don't have it and dont think we ever will. I heard that we had hack attempts and this feature was removed. I do know that Kyle and the server team are working on a MOVE or TRANSFER option but until then we have "BackWPup"!
Install the plugin, then on the bottom left side of your navigation you will see a new button called, yep you guessed it; "BackWPup". Click the button, on the pull down, "Add New". Click here and you will see multiple options on where to back up your work. The great thing is that it also has a Job Schedule feature that allows you to configure backups hourly (don't recommend), daily, weekly, monthly. Awesome! So, just go to DropBox and create an account if you currently do not have one (It's FREE) and point it to that. Took all of about 5 min to go from start to finish.
Anyhow, I know there are probably many tutorials on this here and I even heard there might be a video. So the information is out there people! OHH, and dont forget the chatroom, can save you tons of time!

glad to hear backwpup worked for you. I use it for all my sites, never had a problem with it and its great for when u want to move from one host to another.
Backing up your site is very important. Sometimes you don't realize how important it is until you need too. Thanks for the great information Jeremy.
Hey Papi.
Great info. It's incredibly useful to know that BackWPup works with siterubix as many FTP and premium solutions such as BackUpBuddy aren't compatible. It also saves accidentally misleading both newcomers and Premium Members who are using free sub-domains here at WAU with suggestions that won't work.
Here's a link to Welshy's training in case anyone wants further info: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/how-to-backup-entire-wordpress-blog-have-it-auto-sent-to-a-free-dropbox-account

LOL... I'll take it! Thanks for adding the video... Its a perfect addition. Well, for any of you out there! I highly recommend it if your using WA hosting. If you have access to your own server there are other options of course.
