After several days of operating this I feel that this mod works great.
I could not rely on my host providing backups in a fashion I deem necessary, and I could not rely on myself performing a manual database backup consistantly. My last restore prior turned into a nightmare. And now I feel good that I have and will maintain 31 backups for the last 30-31 days in a file system that all I have to do is download for off-site storage with my files in one clean swoop of my ftp.
I found that if I set my cron for a daily backup for the early hours of the morning that the cron has usually triggered within an hour or two of the trigger time. Works every time. If it were set for the evening hours, there is a risk the cron may miss its trigger for that day, so AM is best for me.
Thanks again Paul
