Default Backup Software...

Will you guys recommend me a back up software? I believe there is on in every cPanel, or depending on which company, a stock software that they will give you.

However, I'd like to have one that would possibly automatically back up onto my computer by itself without me having to touch it or do it manually...

Can someone recommend me one? Are these programs typically free?

Well backing up the server is free, cPanel already has this feature built in. All you have to do is set a cron job, at what ever time you want the server to make a backup. And the server will automatically make a back up for you.

cpanel and most other control panels also have the ability to backup to a remote FTP server, so if your on a fixed IP, you could easily run your own server and have the backup automatically transfered to that server each night.

If your not on a fixed IP, then you would need a DDNS server, and to hope that the IP didn't change part way through transfering a backup. If your familier with perl, you could install that locallly, and have a perl script running on either a cron job or a scheduled task (depending on OS) to transfer the backup for you. But that would be very dependant on the access you have to your account. Perl can easily transfer files using scp. sftp or standard ftp with the correct CPAN modules installed.

Yes, cPanel does have its own backup, but I like http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ it is nice for keep a large load on your server down. It will only comy files that are new and not the same ones over and over.
