Backup

[Captain Tycoon]

Are there any softwares that will back up your server day to day and then remove old backup (3 months or older) automatically?

Data Backup - disk space on backup server, $25 setup fee for standard schedule, $50 for custom.

For example, A2hosting.com offers such service for backing up clients' database.

I personally wouldn't trust another company to hold my database of clients, are there any softwares that would do it?

Doing it yourself would take quite a lot of time, since it is daily. There has to be a software out there that does this

Well can't we setup a cron job do this ? Even if there is a script it will be using the cron jobs to do it.

I have ever thought that cron jobs would be able to do this, are you 100% sure you can make a cron job backup your server? Any tutorials?

Is it possible to get a2hosting com backup services without getting their hosting plan?

I don't see a difference, still you have to buy space fo backup to be stored. maybe it might cost less since you wouldn't need much features.

Look up on Hotscripts.com under PHP and Backup Management. I'm sure there is probably a script there that will suit your needs. Putting it into a cron task isn't very difficult. Some of the scripts may even be written to just that.
