We use SyncBack (http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html) all over the place, an excellent tool. A typical use is to run a CF script to dump a DB into a spreadsheet and then FTP it off to the the side of the planet, or the exact opposite! We actually have both of those operations running on one clien'ts server :-) More mundanely doing automated, scheduled backups regimes is just where it is at. Note that copying MS SQL databases directly is not an easy task as they are often locked. The most economic way to manage it from a backup perspective is to schedule MS SQL to do a backup and then grab the backup file immediately afterwards.
