Automattic, the makers of WordPress.com, have introduced VaultPress , a plugin to plug the backup gap. Users of WordPress' hosted service have their blogs backed up automatically (so to speak). So if something goes pear-shaped, the content is caught before it hits the ground. However, if you use a self-hosted version of the software you must back up your content yourself, and heaven help you if you forget. Sponsor Now, by downloading and installing a simple plugin, self-hosted users will have the same safety net as their hosted counterparts. Matt Mullenweg, founder of Automattic, announced the plugin on the VaultPress blog . "Today, this means every bit of content will be safe, from plugins and themes to the smallest comment or post revision, with WordPress-aware, real-time, multi-cloud backups." In an email, he said, "In the past two hours we've had over 600 beta applications with an average of 9 sites each." The product alleges "real-time, continuous monitoring" of your site against dangerous and fraudulent activity. It also automatically updates fixes. Interested users can sign up for VaultPress in private beta. Automattic plans to charge $15.00 per month for the service. Discuss
