It's taken a bit of work but I'm proud to announce the release of Backup Pro(ish); a trimmed down version of our acclaimed ExpressionEngine add-on Backup Pro. Oh, and it's entirely free.
Make no mistake though; just because it's trimmed down doesn't mean it's at all useless. Backup Pro(ish) includes all the features <em>most</em> ExpressionEngine sites need in order to recover from disaster with ease. Backup Pro(ish) includes file backup, database backup and restore, is Cron and Automat:ee ready, includes an auto prune system (to keep your file system from filling up) and backups can be sent to an unlimited number of email addresses. There shouldn't be any reason NOT to have backups of your ExpressionEngine site now.
