If you are using cpanel/WHM you can use - whmeasybackup.com I have been using it since January and it does the job. It is easy to setup and it runs using a cron job so you can set it to backup whenever and as often as you like.

You can have it back up to a remote FTP location you can then move the files to S3 or Amazon Glacier for long term archiving.

I use BackupBuddy for all Wordpress backup / restore needs.

There are plenty of downloaders that will spider a whole domain, keep a couple of local copies, easy to ftp back up, when cPanel fails.

Setup something with Backupsy, use local storage, etc...I keep a 2TB harddrive just for work backup and store the most important ones on a backup VPS as well.

I use CrashPlan. Backs up local files in realtime or periodically depending on your preference, I have it go to both an external HD and their cloud storage for redundancy. It works well and is cheap and they're very user friendly, been a huge boost for peace of mind!

Then I do database exports every so often though that is a hassle. If anyone's got a better approach for those I'd be interested to hear it, once I get fully set up on my new server will be figuring out what to do there...

thx...I forgot to add that I am looking to backup all my sites (hosted through directadmin) to another webhost/ server space...i dont want to download it to my local hard drive...

and the price shouldnt be more than 5$/monthly (i may pay upfront for years), as i dont see point for paying more for simple encrypted tar.gz file transfer (up to 60 GB monthly) to other host...while i wont use any www/ sql and php services/ server resources...just FTP/ secure FTP to host that backup file

rsync stands for remote sync.

rsync is used to perform the backup operation in UNIX / Linux.

rsync utility is used to synchronize the files and directories from one location to another in an effective way. Backup location could be on local server or on remote server.

indeed, what iam looking for now is cheap space on other server just to put backup files in there....I need around 30 gb of space and around 60 GB of monthly transfer...

cronjobs + mysqldump + rsync
