Hi, Does this product backup all added database table entries that plugins like cformII or prettylink create? Thanks.
Hi Carl,
BlogZapper is a great piece of software! I just used it today for the first time to back up one of my blogs, and it was quick and easy. It’s so reassuring to know that I won’t ever have to re-create another blog from scratch – like I had to do last week.
It was a real shock to me when everything on one of my blogs disappeared except for the initial WP installation. Ugh! Luckily I was able to go to the Google cache of my site to get a copy of all my home page and posts content, and to get the urls for all my links and images. And luckily my blog was fairly new with not a lot of pages, posts, images and links yet. Even so, it still took me several hours to re-create everything. I was afraid I would even lose my first page Google ranking for my main keyword, but luckily I didn’t.
After that fiasco, I was on the lookout for a blog backup program – and amazingly your email magically appeared in my inbox soon afterward! Now, as long as I make frequent backups of my blog using BlogZapper, I’ll never have another “blog nightmare” again. That certainly gives me a “peaceful, easy feeling” about my blogs. It’s also great to know that I can get one blog set up a certain way, and then clone it over and over. BlogZapper makes blog backups and cloning very quick and easy to do. So thanks! Karen
