Automated Backups

[energizedit]

Is there a way to automate daily backups for a reseller account? I've looked around and a lot of hosting companies list this as a benefit of their hosting. I'm just wondering how this is accomplished, through software i.e. Cpanel/WHM or is this done by the server manager the top level company running the server.

Thanks

Mark

There are various scripts available so better you Google it. Also, you can ask the hosting service yourself if they provide such facilities with some extra price taken.

There is an automated backup facility in WHM. Do you not have it enabled in your reseller account? Perhaps you can ask your tech support to enable it.

I accept with information:There are various scripts available so better you Google it and you can ask the hosting service yourself.

Hi All,
I know at present there are many online backup site they are providing online backup for your data. But for me what do you recommend? I am looking for an inexpensive one but good one. Want to backup family photos and records just in case (natural diaster), you never know. All my backup is here at home and not anywhere else. Please recommend asap.
