Pfft. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. I feel like a complete blank, but I don’t care. Pfft. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning.

If you did the cron job you'd be able to just tar the files everyday and back that up, and you wouldn't have to worry about incremental so much(it can be a pain sometimes, since you have to restore to point A, and then restore each individual backup until you get to the newest one). And with diskspace and bandwidth so prevalent, it might just be best. At least do a whole backup once a week, so at most you only have 7 files to go through. =) If you just need some space for another server I've got a server down in Florida I use for my blog and my business stuff(no peeking around!) if you just need space, but I can't host another site right now. Let me know. I don't know many windows backup programs or I'd let you know! =) Good luck!

Somebody else suggested that. I'm looking into installing an FTP script that will incrementally backup all changed files and FTP them to another server. The problem is, I don't have another server, but I do have a 'box in the closet' that I'd love to be able to setup a client-side FTP backup process on. The machine in the closet doesn't do much, other than sit there for file storage and act as a printer server (for the 'printer in the closet'), so I'd love it if I could find a program (it's a windows machine) to run on a schedule - FTP into my server, find all incrementally changed files, and download them to a live directory path locally. Haven't found the right software yet. If anyone has any recommendations, I'd love to hear them! Thanks, Joey! Somebody else suggested that.

Oops, just revealed my geekiness.

Actually seeing your posting yesterday about your site getting hacked had prompted me to start backing up my own things more frequently. Have a great weekend.
