I wrote a script that shuts down Apache and MySQL each night, does an rsync of the DB directory to a backup directory on the server, restarts Apache & MySQL and then rsync's the backup directory to dedicated backup server. I maintain an encrypted tunnel between a server at home and the firewall of my remote network and rsync the backup directory of the backup server to a system at my home nightly. I also run a mysqldump of the DB once a week and rsync it to the backup server and home. There is no site without the data and I've been doing this long enough to fear and respect Murphy's Law. Eric
