Cron Folder Backup

n0obie4life

Okay..I've done Cron SQL backup every monday. So now, how do I have Cron Folder Backups every month (only 1 folder) ?

Btw, if anyone wants the cron backup for SQl code.

is it possible to create one whereby it'll send the backup file to your email?

You can add onother php script which sends you the folder zipped as email or ftpd to some server.

I guess copy() could be used to copy a file, but how about zip?

So, no possible way to do it through cron?

What you need to do in order to accomplish what I think you've been saying is create a PHP script that first backs up the database to a file and then handles to file according to what you want to do (email, FTP) and then moves or deletes the file, depending on what you want.

Now you can research (google) each step of this script separately if you don't know how to get it done, and create one mutant, monster script (or possibly just one that works.)
