A few moths ago, one of my blog collapsed in a careless accident, and all of the posts were gone, so I tried to restore the database, but to my surprise, the database was not correct, and I have no idea how that happened up till now.
After that, I have been very careful about database backup, besides to back up the database from the blog server monthly, I also back up the database with WordPress plugins daily, below are 10 WordPress plugins I have tested, they are all free and compatible with WordPress 2.9.2.
