Hi, 1) I'd like to backup my Drupal site with all mysql tables and files on a regualr basis and have it saved on another webhosting account. Is their a way to automate this with a module or with a third party service. This is to that if one of my web hosts go down I can just change my IP to point to another without losing visitors. 2) Is there a third party web service to manage lots of drupal sites from one application? Kind regards, Ayath
Hi Ayath 1) if you have terminal access and perms for /var/lib/mysql and /var/www, you can use automatic bash scripts (through ssh) to do the job/replications. I am using that for backuping my sites. Otherwise use Backup&migrate with automatic FTP scripts (download and then upload to 2nd server) and few cron pages for uploading SQL to 2nd database. 2) no idea about this service, would be nice to have it.

If your website is on a VPS or on a dedicated machine you can do all kinds of backups with bash scripts and crontab. I don't know about shared web hosting though. Some provide daily backups, some don't, so it really is on a per-host basis. You might get lucky if you find a module that does backups of your drupal install and archives them. Try and have a look around :) -- Davide Mirtillo EV Network, Via Emilio Salgari 14/e 31056 Roncade (TV), Italy http://evnetwork.it
