Just curious, lets say your site goes down or you accidentally delete your site (I've had someone do that before).
What type of backup/restore solution do you have to save you from a catastrophe?
easy... burn your site onto 2 disks and keep the in diforant places as for after its happend.. unless you have another copy or your host has a backup you are stuffed really
I backup the talkfreelance database on a regular basis and I have all the files on my pc, might be worth burning them to CD now that you mention it.
Talkfreelance is also situated on site5's "superhosting" plan. They promise my site will never go down, if we are dos attacked/traffic overload/resource usage etc, the site is moved automatically to a vps and then to a dedicated until the traffic returns to normal.

Sounds very nice.
So are your backups manual or do you use a script to do the dirty work for you?
I think certain versions of cpanel have a backup feature too... I'm not sure if those do both files and database though.
But your host would have multiple secure backups wouldn't they?
my host claims to have a regular back-up. my back up is in my hard disk and every month i burn the back ups on a CD.
this really helped when my first host went kaput! loss a few hundreds members though!(at that time i back up once every 3 months and my computer had a virus attack at the same time! )
Assuming my host's backups aren't usable (which is extremely unlikely), I have a single backup on my PC, but I don't update it as frequently as I should.
I usually leave backups to my host, since it's their job.
i have 2 dedicated servers one server backs up to the other and then the second backs up once a week to my home server which currently im not backing up because its an expensive trying to find a backup solution for 200gb worth of data.
We backup all our sites daily onto a second hard drive and to a remote FTP site as well. As well as that, our billing data is emailed to us daily (files + sql), and every Sunday we download a copy of our backups as well. If something goes wrong, we've got 3 sources to find the data from (4 for our billing data), none of which should be older than a week.
as for after its happend.. unless you have another copy or your host has a backup you are stuffed really
