What are you using to back up your sites

[notty]

Ideally looking for a way to download the sites 1 time then do daily backups of changed files. What is the best way to handle this.

When I was backing up it was to another VPS account

For the past 5 years a half years I have an account at another host, they set it up where the nightly backup file from my working server gets sent to that offsite server. backing up on your server is not the ideal solution, having a copy on another server at another company is the best way if you ask me.

I used to have a small cheap unmanaged vps account to ftp my auto backups to. I set up the max number to keep and it auto deleted the oldest ones. After I set it up, I never had to touch it again. I could connect with Filezilla if I wanted to retrieve a file. The vps just cost a few bucks per year.

Were you using Rsync?

I use my local computer as well. Can't depend on technology for everything. Have to do 'some' foot work.
