While i'm sure i can write a CRON to do this and some how open the ports on a network hd in my house, to be honest i'd rather spend a bit of money on some good software with a nice visual interface.. are there any such all-in-one server backup systems?
my server is a VPS hosted by https://www.memset.com | |||

I'm not sure why you would want to backup to a network HD in your house. You probably have your reasons, but usually the upstream bandwidth at home is quite limited which would horribly slow down the restore process. Instead I would suggest backing up to some cloud storage provider that can provide decent bandwidth in- and outgoing and redundancy as well. I use Jungle Disk Server Edition to backup several Linux production servers. It's very affordable and has worked well. You'd set a pre-backup script to dump the MySQL db's and set Jungle Disk to backup the dumpfiles, and images. Jungle Disk de-duplicates, compresses and encrypts the data before uploading. Jungle Disk can upload to Rackspace Cloudfiles and to Amazon S3, so your choice which storage service you prefer. There's a cross-platform application to remote control the backup services. | |||

why on earth would you pay for that if you can have it for free? or maybe you just want to have a support line to call... anyway - check zmanda. if you decide to hack things on your own - i like backupninja for orchestrating my backups. | |||||

For just a simple backup (daily,weekly, incremental, and so on) i just use backup-manager http://www.backup-manager.org/ Simple, practical and it works. | |||
