Automated Backups
I have a dedicated server that only has around 3-4gb of data on it. I would like to do automated nightly backups for as cheap as possible. I don't want to pay to have my server managed just to be able to have automated backups, so what other solutions do I have? I know I can get really cheap storage from Amazon or Mosso, but is there a way to automate this?

Can cpBackup be configured to work with Mosso or Amazon?

It works with FTP, so if Amazon supplies you with a FTP account, yes.

I also saw JungleDisk, not sure how well suited that is for server backups.

I don't see anything about FTP on either Mosso or Amazon, I may be missing something though.

Another option (but not free though) could be to rent a VPS somewhere, with little amount of RAM but enough diskspace and traffic to serve as backup storage.
Then you can run an ftp service on that VPS and use the built-in backup to FTP options in cPanel or DirectAdmin + you can use the VPS also to manage backup nameservers and mx failover if you want to go all the way

Well I was looking for a fairly simple solution, I guess I'll just get some NAS backup and use the cPanel backup with it.
