Daily Backups

Is there an easy way in either cpanel or whm to do a daily backup for both a mysql db and the actual files of a site?

 

Both should be included. If you need more info, check out the backup configuration through WHM. The configuration should answer all of your questions.

 

If you have root access to the server then you can set this up in "Backup Configuration" in WHM. If you are on a reseller plan or a standard shared account then you would need to use a script such as this: http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2006/12/27/automatic-cpanel-backup-domain-mysql-with-cron-php/

 

Or you might organize that in help of cronjob done by the third party script

 

Look on hotscripts.com and get a script and setup a cronjob and let it be.

 

You can use FTP. About cPanel backup there is a good post here - http://www.justin-cook.com/wp/2006/12/27/automatic-cpanel-backup-domain-mysql-with-cron-php/

 

All of this is exactly what I had suggested... and fcolor - you even posted the exact same link... ???
