Hi, I’ve been looking into a backup solution for my website but I cannot made my mind up. EE plugins? CodeGuard?
What are you guys using and recommending?
Thanks!

Depends on how big your site is, but for most a rather simple php script and a cron job would do the trick.

Not very big, a few GBs. I tried the Backup Pro plugin on devotee but on MediaTemple the cron job doesn’t work.
What script and cron job do you recommend?

You can search google for “automatic backup php script” or check out Backup Pro http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/backup-pro
There’s several ways to do this. Each will have their pros and cons.

I use this one just fine: http://eeharbor.com/safeharbor - I have a larger site though, and the backup to S3 doesn’t work since I’m not on a 64 bit server from my understanding.
