Backing up a website?

[Mark M]

I run a half decent sized forum and only back via FTP it up when I remember and sometimes it comes up with "unable to copy" errors.

It has a database too (obviously) which needs backing up but would that have to be done seperately?

What is the best way to back up a site on a regular basis?

Hope this is the right forum and thanks for any advice.

The host doesnt use cpanel and doesnt look to offer any kind of backup utility sadly.

Getting extra space isnt really an issue as I dont have the money to pay for it sadly.
