When I originally wrote my review of the AWeber email autoresponder you may remember my only major gripe with the system was the lack of an easy backup facility.
As you would expect from a great company like AWeber (aff), they have listened and added a Backup Data Feature. From the AWeber announcement -
Your opt-in subscriber list and the long term relationships built with subscribers is priceless. Having this data backed up in a safe place can let you rest easy at night.
We backup your account and list data on a daily basis to separate computers at our data center as well as off site locations in a secure encrypted manner. With the addition of AWeber’s backup utility you can now make regular backups of all your account data in less than a minute.
This backup utility will create a compressed zip file you can download which will contain all of your accounts different subscriber lists, follow up messages, and broadcast newsletter messages. To create a backup, login to your customer account and click “Create & Manage Lists” in the upper right corner of the page. Click the “export all” link and select the email address to send the backup notification to.
It’s your data and you should be able to easily get it at any time.
This one new feature has added at least another hour to my month since I used to manually backup every list one-by-one, which was not a fun job.
Great news ! The back-up feature is very useful and ads a lot more value to the service.
Thank you for informing me about this first !
