How about putting this in as a cron job: tar jcf /home/email.backup.tar.bz2 /home/vpopmail /var/qmail/control /var/qmail/users
You could also make an offsite backup ERR=/var/log/backup/backup-err.log BACKUP="/home/vpopmail /var/qmail/assign /var/qmail/users" FTP_SERVER="some.server.com" FTP_USER="ftp" FTP_PASS="passwd" /bin/tar -jclpf - $BACKUP 2>$ERR | ncftpput -c -u $FTP_USER -p $FTP_PASS $FTP_SERVER backup.tar.gz Or something like that. But like the other guy said, Google is your friend.
