I don't have caching since my server is over-powered, but I'll have to re-add it later. Some things don't work with WP Super Cache, like many poll plugins, post rating, the Seth Godin plugin that shows dynamic text based on referrer. It's a compromise. An interesting supplemental backup is the LiveJournal CrossPoster plugin. It's very good and I never have to deal with it. Whenever I publish a post it's published to <a href="http://richardxthripp.livejournal.com/" rel="nofollow">my LiveJournal</a>. When I edit or delete it, the changes are mirrored. So if I've forgotten to backup my database and my site goes down... I still have everything I've written. Another thing you must do is replace your RSS feed with <a href="http://feedburner.com/" rel="nofollow">Feedburner</a>. I know you're handing your feed off to someone else, but they're really good and it will take a lot of load off your site.
