    Hi,

    I've been searching around for the best way to automatically backup my databases. Basically I want my backup to be uploaded automatically to my other host/server.

    I have came across this script which is what EXACTLY I'm looking for but I can't get it working...
    http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-t...rver-files-to-a-ftp-server-automatically.html

    I keep getting the error below when I run it manually:
    /root/ncftpd-2.8.6/glibc2.5/ncftpd: illegal option — i

    Can anyone recommend me a script that can automatically backup my database into another host/server or possibly figure out why I can't get the script working above?

    I'm willing to pay someone that can help me out on this. Just post here or send me a PM.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I am on a dedicated server.

    Cheers

    Thanks for sharing me that site.

    My other server is also a dedicated server that I own however the script you provided is very basic. I'm really looking for something from the tutorial I provided (I just wish I can get it working!).

    I came across this script just a few minutes ago and I will try it out and see how it goes...

    I'm still looking for other alternatives and if someone is nice enough to figure out why I can't get the script working from my original post.
