UPDATE (9/30/20): We recently noticed VaultPress prices have gone up considerably and coupled with a few times their backup failed us, plus the fact that it forces you to install resource-heavy Jetpack, we recommend an alternative solution called BlogVault: https://blogvault.net
Backs up your site and allows you to restore it easily to a previous backup. This plugin requires a subscription to Jetpack and a free WordPress.com account.

Initial Configuration
Jetpack > VaultPress
If during Jetpack installation and configuration, VaultPress wasn’t automatically configured and initiated, get the registration key, enter it on the VaultPress configuration page and hit the Register button. Soon, VaultPress will start to back up the site files and database to its remote server.
