1What DBMS are you using? In most cases there is some kind of "replication" functionality built in. As for back-ups of code, start with rsync. It is very easy to have incremental back-ups to a remote NFS volume.– dlyk1988Commented Sep 4, 2013 at 14:29

Where do you want your code backed up to? Where is your code located on the server?– Kyle KelleyCommented Sep 4, 2013 at 17:40

You have 2 options here:
- Leverage the Rackspace Cloud Backup solution
- Write a multi part custom backup script (mysqldump to disk, zip up files plus backup files, rsync/ftp/sftp the file to another location).
For the Rackspace Cloud Backup option, I'd suggest checking out the following documentation:
http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/rackspace-cloud-backup-overview
There are links for installing the agent, which will then allow you to specify a backup configuration within your MyCloud portal.
Option 2 is a bit more involved and will require custom shell scripting. One starting point may be:
http://www.noupe.com/how-tos/10-ways-to-automatically-manually-backup-mysql-database.html
Rackspace Managed SysOps uses our Cloud Backup tool for web content and Holland for MySQL backups. Make sure to include the files which Holland creates in your Cloud Backup config.
Cloud Backup does not create a "zip" which you could download locally, but it does let you restore to any of your Cloud Servers (after which you could make a zip if you like).
