Lifehut has the coolest solution to semi-automating backups of WordPress, a popular blogging/cms application using Gmail, and some great plugins.

The idea behind this posting is to show you how to use a WordPress Plugin that can do database backups of your website/blog and have the backup automatically emailed to a specified email address, your Gmail as an example. Sure, emailing a backup is not revolutionary, but the idea behind this is to save time and to have a location of those files at ALL times.

I should impliment this solution and see how useful it is. If anyone does it before me, and it works or does not work, let me know.
