The short coming someone pointed out would be if a table was dropped by accident or by a successful hacker then the rsync would replicate the changes to the backup server, leaving me with a real problem. So what I want to do is dump the data, tar it and store it off site. I can write a script to ftp the tarball, however I was wondering if there was a service that will just ftp in and copy what is there. That would be the simplest. Of course it would have to be SFTP. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Thu, 5/20/10, Eric Cope <[email protected]> wrote: From: Eric Cope <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Off site automated backups To: "Main PLUG discussion list" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, May 20, 2010, 4:37 PM is FTP necessary or can you rsync them?

I know there are tools that can automate this im sure. On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 4:20 PM, keith smith <[email protected]> wrote: Man I've got 3 threads going at once. Thanks for all your help. I want to do some automated backups and I've got this picture in my head of a service that can be configured to upload files from a specified folder by configuring it to FTP into my server. Is that possible?
