You can use full backup process -

Later move that tar file in public_html folder and download from your website - http://yourdomainname/filename.tar.gz

You would probably be better off using bqbakcup.com to backup automatically using rsync through a cron job. They have an excellent reputation- just do a search on these forums.

Edit: Sorry, didn't read your post thoroughly.
