Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Cron job to back-up to other webhost?

[macfan]

Hi,

I want to back up some folders and a MySQL database from my site to my account with another webhost on a daily basis. Is this possible with cron job? I know nothing about cron jobs and I really don't where to start. I did some search on WHT, but these command lines confuse me.

I have NetAdmin (Site 5 version of cPanel I believe).
Can someone help me? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Marco

Yes, it's possible. Depending on what kind of access level you have on your account, you might need the server administrator's help though.

Thanks RambOrc! Do you know what sort of access will I need?
