WordPress 3.0 Released: Backup Buddy!
The greatly anticipated WordPress 3.0 launch has finally come. We highly recommend that you read the official release announcement on WordPress blog. The announcement post contains a couple of great videos about the release. The first video is a quick walkthrough of what is new in 3.0. The second video is Matt Mullenweg’s State of the Word presentation at this year’s WordCamp San Francisco and covers a history of how WordPress got its start, what philosophies have driven its development to this new 3.0 release, and where the focus is for the future of WordPress.
As with any major WordPress release, there is concern over whether your plugins and themes will be compatible. Wondering what will happen when you click that upgrade button is a valid concern.
We should say that before doing any major upgrades, you should always do a full backup of your site. If you don’t currently have a backup process, please checkout BackupBuddy. We developed this plugin specifically to help our customers do easy, fast, reliable backups. Beyond offering fast, complete backups, BackupBuddy also supports restoring your site from the backup and migrating the site to another domain and/or server (this makes spinning up a test site to try out the upgrade very quick and easy to do).
For many months now, we have tested all of our themes and PluginBuddy has tested its plugins with the development versions of 3.0. We are pleased to announce that all of our themes and of the PluginBuddy plugins work properly with the new 3.0 release.

Glad I bumped into your post, I've been wondering about that lately.The reason that BackupBuddy is stirring up so much excitement in the WordPress community is that when it works (more on that in a minute), it’s so comprehensive that you can actually use it to move your WordPress installation from one server to another without having to do anything more than set up a MySQL database. That gets the developers who work on sites in one environment and then move them to another one excited, because it’s a time-saver. And it gets people who’ve had their web servers hosed excited, because they can get back up and running quickly.

I just checked out BackUpBuddy. It looks like a one-stop great way to make sure my blogs are backed up so I don’t have to worry about it. Is that correct? Once I set it, I can just let it keep doing its thing? I have several blogs, so I’d likely get the developer option. - Julienne
Hi Julienne, I do not think it works like a computer back up where it does incremental backups. This is a one back up solution when you are migrating your site to a new server, or simply want a complete back up of your website. It's my understanding that the incremental back up feature you are looking for will be out in a future release.
You can read more about the plugin here where they answer some FAQs on it: http://pluginbuddy.com/purchase/backupbuddy/
