Online Website Backup Options?
pdcull writes "I can't be the only person on the planet who has this problem: I have a couple of websites, with around 2 GB of space in use on my hosting provider, plus a few MySQL databases. I need to keep up-to-date backups, as my host provides only a minimal backup function. However, with a Net connection that only gets to 150 Kbps on a good day, there is no way I can guarantee a decent backup on my home PC using FTP. So my question is: does anybody provide an online service where I can feed them a URL, an FTP password, and some money, and they will post me DVDs with my websites on them? If such services do exist (the closest I found was a site that promised to send CDs and had a special deal for customers that had expired in June!), has anybody had experience with them which they could share? Any recommendations of services to use or to avoid?"
Ok, since it doesn't seem to be a big website, it's probably on a shared host, so more complex backup software isn't an option in most cases.
Php backup scripts should work on any shared host, try looking at these scripts: http://www.absoft-my.com/pondok/sitebackup.php http://phpclasses.betablue.net/browse/package/3585.html
