I did reply to the ServerFault question, but just sharing my thoughts here for 
those who don't click through...

* whenever gem to provide a nice interface over the top of cron:
https://github.com/javan/whenever
* backup gem that's super flexible/configurable for defining backups (if 
backups are the focus - sounds like there's other elements as well):
https://github.com/meskyanichi/backup
* free account on SendGrid as an SMTP server for < 200 emails/day:
http://sendgrid.com/
