Backups

[sgrynd]

I have been looking around for a all in one backup solution, I would like to get my database and files for my site backed up and in a compressed file. I have seen several mods that work for parts but nothing like I was used to from phpbb. So looking at what I used for PHPBB I discovered that it worked for VB with out issue so I thought I would pass it along.

I am not the person responsible for writing this and can't support it but it does work, I have my database being backed up to a compressed file in a protected directory and all of my files get packed into 1 zipped file weekly.

I then have a ftp script that runs on my spare machine at my house that downloads them and deletes the file from the server when it is when done.

Towards to bottom there is a section on setting up cron jobs, this probably isn't for the novice user and perhaps I am missing a mod that does this however another option is always nice.
