This plugin is pretty simple. You can use Dropbox, Amazon's S3, or an FTP account to store WordPress. Need an account?
Visit: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTE0ODYwNjc5" target="_new">Dropbox</a>. Or, for Amazon's S3 visit:
<a href="https://s3.amazonaws.com/" target="_new">https://s3.amazonaws.com</a>. If you decide to use an FTP account,
it makes a lot of sense to use a remote FTP account on a server that isn't shared with this WordPress installation.

The files that get generated for each archive are:
<ol>
<li>wpTimeMachine-content-files<?php echo $format; ?></li>
<li>wpTimeMachine-data-files.sql</li>
<li>wpTimeMachine-htaccess.txt <sup>1</sup></li>
<li>wpTimeMachine-Instructions.txt <sup>2</sup></li>
<li>wpTimeMachine-RestorationScript.sh <sup>3</sup></li>
</ol>
<em>
1: if you're not using .htaccess then no, it won't be created <br />
2: if you're ever recovering from a catastrophic WordPress failure, this file will help<br />
3: this file is still under development & should be used with caution<br />
</em>
<div class="hint">
It's a good idea to store the following two items on your own, (in the same place as the files above):<br/>
Your copy of WordPress: <a href="<?php echo wp_installer_url.$format;?>"><?php echo wp_installer_url.$format;?></a><br/>
Or, read about how to use <a href="http://wptimemachine.com/-/wordpress-and-subversion/">Subversion for your WordPress implementation</a>.<br/>
Your copy of wp-config.php <em>For security purposes this file is not backed up!</em>
</div>

<b>Information about Scheduling (and cron):</b>
<br />
<ol>
<li><?php echo wpcontent_url . "/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php"; ?></li>
<li><?php echo wpcontent_dir . "/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php"; ?></li>
</ol>
For example, you might use curl:<br />
<code>
curl "<?php echo wpcontent_url . "/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php"; ?>?generate=1"
</code>
<div class="hint">
Note that it is recommended that you set up a separate cron job to delete the temporary archive files:
<code>
curl "<?php echo wpcontent_url . "/plugins/wp-time-machine/cron.php"; ?>?clean=1"
</code>
</div>
There are many ways to use the scripts referenced above ... this is just an example, for more information read this:<br />
