    How do you guys back up your remote websites?

    I have over 20 sites. I am tired of losing work due to the negligence of webhosts.

    You can use method similar to this - I can suggest to backup some files also some similar way.

    But ftp backups are better for many reasons

    Hi,

    1. If you have command prompt access to your website's then best way to automate backup by backup script. You need to write backup script witch backup your web site and database. Schedule to backup and ftp to yours backup server every day.

    2. If you don't have command prompt access at web servers. Then you nead one backup server with command prompt access. From backup server you need to connect your web server's by ftp and copy every file and make database backup.
