I use this to make my database backups. A couple times a day. I usually just save my files to my hard drive

Backing up every few hours is going to put your bandwidth usage through the roof and also put a strain on your server thus slowing it down. Thats why most backups are done at night.

Last time I tried to do a backup myself, my server hit 15.0 (usually its under 1.0)

That's only if is board is that big, it's not required to backup several times a day, but it helps.

I just suggest you should handle your own backups. Hosts also give a time frame of 48hrs+, it very rigid.

Do you download from that directory or are they sent to you automatically?

I encode my config.php file using latest online ioncube encoder (which can be found on their website) so if someone roots the server, they don't have the mysql details.

When a new version of ioncube comes out, i re-encode again incase the crackers can uncode the previous version.

You will need to buy credits first, but its cheap.

Don't use something like Zend as its basically pointless and can be decoded within seconds.
