CPanel can do nightly backups. If something goes wrong, roll back a day or 3 and try again. I've been using this method since WP was first added to Fantastico, way back in the day. A form of lazy versioning I guess. We're not talking about companies who need high availability. Your personal blog can handle a day down while you restore from backup (it's just a few clicks from the CPanel, the wait for the email saying it's ready).
