Protect your Blog with VaultPress

VaultPress is a new web app tool (beta stage) that will shield and protect your WordPress blog, providing some interesting backup and restore features; and also maintaining the security of your site.

VaultPress offers a complete backup solution for your entire blog: articles, database, files, images and more. Giving you the chance whenever a disaster occurs, a fast and reliable restore can be executed. Also VaultPress will be in charge of monitoring the blog health against any possible security risks, applying the last updates.

Another remarkable point is that the people in charge of developing and maintaining VaultPress built it using the automatic grid from which over 10 million blogs from WordPress.com rely on.

VaultPress is only available as a private beta for now, and when the final version is released, this will be a paid service (around U$S15 or U$S20).
