Is there really any reason to back up my DNN 3.XX site? Can it really crash or end up going corrupt? If so, are there any free backup utilites or modules that can be added to backup the whole site and everything within. Thanks for your help!

MDeBaise,

Here is a link for you.  I believe that they also have a Free Lite version but $48 is pretty cheap for peace of mind.

Ouch that does suck.  Back it all up I say - the whole site file structure - not just the DB and select folders.  Why leave any variances to chance.  Back it up period - production or development/QA.  And make sure you have a good backup i.e. test the recovery.  Then you'll be prepared and know what to expect.  Six years ago my group lost 18 days of corporate e-mail when the exchange server got hit (Nimbda I think?).  We had Veritas in place but all were invalid according to MS.  They told me I should have used MS Backup instead which would have verified the backups.  Of course that was on NT4.  So don't just backup, perform a test restore if you can - probably not as critical on a hosted site, as they should be on top of that as a part of the service.

Could someone out there help me w/ getting my back-ups straight?  I've been backing up the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\"MY WEBSITE" folder before each upgrade but that's really been it to this point.  In SQL Express I have 4 DBs and I'm guessing 3 of those are from the default installation.  But, I can't tell which one DNN is using.  Once that's determined, I think I can figure out how to make a full backup, and a schedule.  What else would I be missing for keeping my site backed up?
