There are many popular plugins to use for backing up WordPress. You can store your backups on Amazon S3, DropBox, or even DreamObjects. Whenever possible, DreamHost recommends that you limit the number of backups to a reasonable amount, as infinite backups can cause performance issues on your site.
Suggested plugins
- DreamObjects backups plugin – Written specifically to work with DreamObjects
- UpdraftPlus – Natively supports DreamObjects
- BlogVault
- BackupBuddy
- VaultPress
