Most plugins for WordPress only back up part of your site, but not the complete database and all the code that goes along with it, or only backup on your own server. With the Automatic Worpress Backup plugin your whole blog will be backed up on an external server with the Amazon S3 service. The new version includes Simple Restore which allows you to go from a fresh WordPress install to your backup version in minutes. Since Amazon has made a S3 console available the service has become even easier to use.
