VaultPress is a new service from Automattic that backs up your WordPress website. It’s currently in private beta, so you need to sign up to receive a “golden ticket” to begin using the service.

WPCandy was one of the lucky few last week to be sent a VaultPress golden ticket. Naturally, we added it to the site quick-like, and recorded the experience.

It’s too early for a proper review of a service like this, since true backup solutions can only be fairly measured after a longer stretch of time (expect our review later this year). But it’s not too early for you to share in some of the experience. Check out the video after the break.

So far, the experience has been great. We’ve been lucky in that we haven’t needed to use it, but then again the whole point of backup is that it’s there when we do need it.

Are you using it? How has your experience been so far?
