kbohme Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hello, The server I use was just down for days...they ended up having to reload everything from an out of date backup. Unfortunately my pilots have now lost quite a few of their flights. This makes me unhappy.. I was wondering if I could setup a (i think its called cron) command that would automatically backup the database on my server and send the file to another server I use. I use a cron to do daily maintenance on the site tables etc...and was oping I could do the same thing with a backup. I am hoping to automate it as there are times when I can be away from a computer for up to a week at a time because of work, so my manual backups won't be adequate. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in Advance ! Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
