| I wrote a shell script that will take a dump of the entire db. I can share it if interested. If you have cron access u can set it up to run @ specific times. EDIT: Ok so I'm bored and have no life. I have attached the shell file. You would replace the file /path/to/ with the path to where u would like to store the file and the [DBUSERNAME] [DBPASSWORD] [DBNAME] with your specific data.

| I will try to remember over the next few days to write an automated file backup. I completely forgot. PLUS. Don't ever use zip when you have tar and gzip available. Doing so is just wasting space for yourself.

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA | I have my own automated database backups now, thanks to LarryB...the thing I was still looking for was something the automatically back up my files, but it's not really a huge concern. That's not something that needs to be done very often, so I'm fine with doing it on my own, once a week or so is sufficient
