If you don't backup your sites you WILL experience a loss.. perhaps even catastrophic! as in.. total loss.. months or years of work down the tube! Keeping to a regular routine of backups is just one of those housekeeping chores that is easy to forget....and this business is complicated enough without making mistakes like that.. so this Backup Creator looks like a life saver for many people!

It is amazing this technology from the 1940's is still in use today.  I’ve been to Ukraine 40+ times and nothing is worse than traveling on the trains in that country.

Go to Ukraine where 1 dollar is worth 8 grivna's! LOL. Try getting something for 2 grivnas in Ukraine. LOL.

Or is it just coincidence ? It makes no sense to pay upkeep for unsubscribers, crazy.  Although they might do it to discourage churn and burn marketing.  and encourage sending valuable mails since you still pay for someone if they unsubscribe. think I’ll ask them to delete my unsubscribers too, using their interface you can only delete I think 100 at a time, why ? are they intentionally limmiting your capacity for deleting unsubscribers ?

The subject line was: Hey why is your wesite down? And inside the first line was "I was going to your site to buy something from you and your site is down - what's up with that? Sans quotation marks. Then I went on to explain how that's a pretty awful email to get and that it had happened to me - which is why I now use Robert Plank Backup Creator http://rickbutts.com/backup-or-clone-your-wordpress-site/ I had 4 people reply and tell me they KNEW their site was down and they were freaked out about it and working on getting it back up. I had 10 people email me pissed off because I had the ignorance to send a mass email out without an unsubscribe link (oops - ARP3 requires me to check that box and I screwed up) I had another dozen folks take me to task for scaring the crap out of them. Any given email day - huh? Well, I apparently got too clever with an email subject line and got a bunch of my readers pretty fishmeckled! The subject line was: Hey why is your wesite down?
