i want to know if there is a way to backup all of the sites and databases hosted on my box to a local linux box. (sort of like a weekly/monthly deal) such as i want to just FTP in and download the files and store them remotely in case worse comes to worse.


any help is appreciated.

Search on google for rsync over ssh. It contains the answer. It's faster and more secure than the ftp.

looks promising...i will check that one out.
