I think that making a backup everytime you update something is an good habit. Save you the trouble when anything happens, and your informations are gone. You can just backed it up by your gmail account, easily and simple.

@suni: yeah, after Kathy’s story I’m applying the method above to all my blogs. I think she did actually recover in the end, but it must have been a terrifying experience.

I just got hacked today. It was minor: just the index.php file in the root directory had been accessed and changed. But seeing the potential for what *could* have happened, I have decided to try out this plugin and have backups sent daily. Thanks.
