I run a simple script with LFTP via a cron job at a time when I know the
data base isn't being touched, the script backs up the sdb and keeps the
last 30 days. It backs up to my UNRAD server, but could be used for other
FTP destinations. It also backs up my user and /etc/weewx directory.
I'm sure there are more elegant solutions but this seems to work and was
easy to implement
