I vote for *I make a backup every day*

Every 12 hours me and a Co. Admin take it in turns.

Every Day I Create A Backup

Yea im hurting from doing a back up 7 days ago. I couldn;t imagine not ever doing one. Talking about being screwed!!!!!!!!!

backup FTW

I've got a cron job which makes daily back ups but only of the database. I would like some info on backing up the files.

Once a week and yes before I did it once a week it did bite me in the arse :(

PLEASE do backups, please for your sanity, read this thread, ignore it and justify not doing it all day long thinking your safe OR even not doing it because you won't take the time to learn but at some point it will return to haunt you like a ghost in the night :p.

ALWAYS! And I do it before mod installs, if you become familiar with it it can take less than 1-5 mins depending on board size/method of backup (this can be higher but in general).

Please!!!!!!

Thanks for the link to the Auto Backup mod...Now I backup every day!

I wonder how many people backup to their own server?

Baby steps... :)

Usually backing up to your own server is sufficient. However, it really is best to keep a copy of that backup on a remote server.

Words of Wisdom Mike,

Its really so easy to do full server backups, see video in first post, even if you have someone else do back ups, what would happen if they told you, their system was down when yours crashes, or gets damaged? For the sake of 5 mins or less of your time, can you keep taking that risk??

Like Lynne Says "Baby Steps"

I download mine and save it to my memory stick, but i also send myself an email (Google) with it as an attachment, so not only do i have one for easy restoring on my stick but one saved on googles own servers too!!
