What do you do to backup your sites?

[Payton]

Do you backup offline? Offsite backups?

What companies do you use? I've used www.bqbackup.com Not the most user friendly but it works I guess (never had to restore from there thankfully)

I use the rdiff-backup utility. I make a full backup every Sunday and incremental backups every other day.

I don't back up very often but I should probably start. It's a healthy habit to keep up.
I've backed up my databases before but that was only so I can work on them in localhost.

well i have all my files online & on my computer, i'd like to get into offsite backin' up tho.

USB Pen Disks are nifty if you're on the go and need a instant backup when on the go. -.-

I use a custom scripted Linux Solution, incremental Backup.

I've been keeping copies on my hard drive, but will look into more serious solutions as the sites are getting more complex & db driven.

I didnt back up a dev site I was working on and it came back to bite me in the ass. So now I periodically backup everything to my personal pc, and do a mysql dump to back up the database if I have a lot of data in it.

Thats the way to do it. If only I was so organised. About whenever I remenber is when i do it.

my control panel (webmin) has a module that allows me to backup everything on a schedule, I then go to that directory and download everything to my PC.

I use Idrive.com, they have a reasonable rate for disk space and simple admin. The data is stored in their server farm, where ever, but it's protected.

With their software I currently have daily automated backups from 8 xp boxes, 4 linux and 1 win 2003 server including all websites & databases.

Then I can access anything via a file share, ftp or web site.
