Site BackUp Script

[nextstep]

Hi, I'm looking for a script that will automatically back up my site - a CMS site based on php - and automatically email it to me as a zip or similar. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Rather than emailing it, I'd say just put it in a folder on your site. Then you could download it, or you could have it email you a link to the file.

The trouble with this is that zip isn't that well supported by PHP on a lot of servers.

There is, of course, the zip library that is documented on the official site, but I've found it difficult to use.

There are also some other scripts you can use, and I've had varying degrees of success, but nothing that is flawless.

I'm curious as well if someone has a more stable solution.
