Automatic WordPress Backups from DigitalOcean Droplet to Local Machine

This post explains how to implement automatic WordPress backups from a DigitalOcean droplet to your machine of choice using SSH/SFTP.

In this post I want to detail my way of implementing automatic WordPress Backups on a site hosted on a DigitalOcean VPS. I am looking for advice on how to improve this setup from efficiency and security standpoints.

Requirements:

DigitalOcean droplet running LEMP/LAMP stack (web server) and a WordPress site
SSH Key Authorization between server and backup storage machine
