Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Software and Control Panels : Use Windows XP Server/PC to daily backup reseller account ?

[Freekers]

Hi there,

I have a Windows XP PC / Server here at home, which is on 24/7.
Instead of paying to get my reseller account backup daily with rsync to an offsite provider, I want to try and setup automatic daily backups on this Windows Xp Pc.
My question is, how do I do this and with which software ?
My reseller account has cPanel and ofcourse WHM. I don't host that much sites, I believe a total of max 2GB of data.
My internet connection at home is fast enough to handle this (12Mbit Download, upload doesn't matter in this case...).
I want to make this backups just in case something goes baaaddlyy wrong at my hosting provider.

Thanks !!

You could simply use a batch script for ftp backup.

ncftp is one tool you can use to construct a batch script

Thanks for your reply !
Will databases (and mail) be backed up too then ?
I found this promising script, which seems to do exactly what I want:

However, now I need to setup my computer as a FTP server am I right or can do this with other tools too ?

Thanks !
