Automated backup of Website and Databases?

[Skeeter]

Hi guys

I have a CMS website (Concrete 5) with all the databases etc that go with it. Occasionally things break and I need to restore it. At the moment it requires copyign files back and hoping it works. Wondering what you lot do about automated backups? I tried running some automated backups on the Apache server using cron jobs, but gave up when trying to setup my home PC as an FTP server to store the files. It just refused to connect.

So, how do you go about backing up your website?

Any help much apreciated!

I got as far as having a script that ran to dump my sql databases and site files, worked to a remote FTP site but couldnt get it connecting to my PC. Gave up as I figured I was onto a looser. Looks like I was wrong though. Ill see if I can get my home server running as a proper FTP server, that way I dont have to worry about running out of space on a remote ftp server as much.
