Backup Program

[Keefe]

Does anyone know of any programs that will log-on to a ftp site and make regular back-ups automatically?

hello sir,

i don't know any program but depending on your type of server you can do this task. i have done in my work.

in example, if your system is any kind of SVR4, you can create an special account with cuasi-root characteristics
and allow to run only one command (you can do it using ACL's), and this command is just to get or post a file.

in the background you can program an AT or CRON process to tar o gzip a backup of all your /etc/ or other folders and compress it to take away to another place...maybe a backup machine (just to store incremental backups).

could be a good idea without spend any money.

bye
