DownloadcronBackUp takes on the necessary task of backing up files and directories that you can't afford to loose. It uses daily, weekly and monthly backup scheduling to cover what you did today, a couple of weeks ago or four months ago. You have full control over incrementing, compressing, storing, encrypting and transferring to local or remote locations.
All from one configuration file. 10 settings. Really there's only one mandatory setting, just list some path(s) for the script to backup.
It uses cron to schedule your backup hat trick, so you don't have to. That way you can be sure that it really does get done. Cron will email you the results or you can read the log file that is written to the bkupPath. That way you'll know almost immediately if any problems occurred during the backup. Sometime, down the road, if you ever loose a file due to a mistaken command or software error, even worse a hardware failure, you'll find it waiting to be restored at one of your backup locations.
