  34 <PRE>This kind of thing is best left upto shell scripts.  I'd highly recommend
  35 using rsync over FTP for two reasons:
  36
  37 1.  It's secure.  All file transfers are performed over ssh by default.
  38
  39 2.  It uses a differential algorithm so as to only transfer the incremental
  40 differences between files across the network, hence saving *alot* of
  41 bandwidth and making the backup procedure very quick.

  50 </I>&gt;<i> An Idea... any chance of some sort of built in log/database backup
  51 </I>&gt;<i> function -- something that makes a daily automatic backup copy of the
  52 </I>&gt;<i> databases and that day's log (dated), and stuffs it into a designated
  53 </I>&gt;<i> location (like some other backup dir) or even better, can auto-FTP send it
  54 </I>&gt;<i> to another machine?  I know this is something above and beyond the call of
  55 </I>&gt;<i> duty for Services, but it would sure make catastrophic failures of the
  56 </I>&gt;<i> primary machine more bearable...
  57 </I>&gt;<i>
  58 </I>&gt;<i> Just a thought... meanwhile, anyone know of a linux utility that can be bent
  59 </I>&gt;<i> into an automatic FTP send of files to a remote FTP server?  Maybe via a
  60 </I>&gt;<i> script?  Thanks
