Make sure you have enough free space for your account before running these and gzip the mysqldump output file for speedier ftp transfer. For the automation, winscp can be automated to go retrieve a file and delete it. Have the website do the backups on a cron schedule and then have winscp go look for the results and pull them off. | |
