Ouch!

I came across this post, on Marlene Paynter’s website:

Last week the web hosting service I had relied on for over 6 years disappeared suddenly, without warning taking my site and all contents with it.
The company, Lifetimehosting.com, sent a letter of apology stating that their harddrives and backups were compromised by a hacker.
So now it’s all gone.

Over the next few weeks I will be rebuilding from the ground up.
I urge everyone to do a weekly backup of their websites, blog posts, photos, etc. and not be lazy like I was, relying on a company to backup for them.

Seriously scary stuff. I don’t back up often enough, but I am definitely am now going to start making this a regular task.

Anybody know an EASY way to back up a wordpress blog?
