How often do you backup your directories db?

How often do you backup your directories db?

I personally do it every day after I have gone through the listings.

 

I am taking DB backup once in a week.

 

Once a week is enough.. cpanel DB backup.

 

Daily on a chron.

 

Backups should be taken once a week, but many of us dont have time for that.

 

Backups should be done once a day if possible, more if you have fast changing content. You can set this to auto via your cpanel on most servers.

Don't leave it to weekly if you add lots of content, trust me, you'll regret it.

 

personally i do it daily through cron job. don't want to risk loosing a single listing.

 

Lazy Ilyas (me) I'vent even got one backup of my directories

 

How do you automate the process of backup of the database on PHPLD v2? I don't have cpanel but I have cron jobs option (DreamHost).

 

every week

 

Every week or every second week, depend of amount of data.

 

Well, Generaly Every weekend I update my database. But Sometime, every 10 days.

 

I backup every week.

 

how to do it auto via cron jobs ? any tutorial for newbies ?

 

I backup the db's and home directory backups every single night, i make sure i do it within my last hour online.

And dont wait too long to get them backed up on cd.

If you really want to be careful, make double copies and store them in a relatives house, incase your house burns down.

 

I wouldn't laugh at them, you wouldn't like them laughing at you? I wouldn't wish a loss of data on anyone. but I'd certainly say, 'I told you so'.

@meethere; This is one of the better tutorials out there for you http://www.webmasterstop.com/102.html hope it helps.

 

I hate to give refunds for lost submission data and back up the database twice daily.

 

I normally backup my directories weekly just to make sure.
