Store Backups Online for Easy Access

Data backups are no good if they aren’t available to you irrespective of the location you are in. Today while working on this blog from my house in Chandigarh, I messed up the WordPreess database and had to drop all tables and the content stored within them. I created a new database and installed WordfPress 2.1 effortlessly. Once I finished doing this, I realized that I was in my Chandigarh house, and not in Hyderabad, which is where the backups are stored, stacked neatly in a folder. So now I am left with a clean slate, at least till the 5th of February. So to prevent anything similar happening in the future, I have three options: Don’t play with the WordPress installation: Highly unlikely Blog only while in Hyderabad Doable as I leave Hyderabad for a week to 10 days at most Store data backups online: This is the one I like best and am going to follow religiously. There are so many websites that offer free storage, might as well use them.
