I would add this: Remember to back up your databases. Many webmasters are used to having local copies of all the html, php, and other type of files that they typically upload and download via ftp. They sometimes forget that the Database files are not in the ftp and must be accounted for separately. I have a cron job on my servers. On the first of every month all databases are zipped up and emailed to me for local back-ups off the server. Good post Carlos. I would add this: Remember to back up your databases.
