    backing up websites?

    Is there a program or script that would backup websites automatically based on a list of names.

    I have about 5-6 major websites or bunch of other minor websites (small websites) that I want to backup regularly.

    Currently, I just FTP the whole website to my hard drive one by one. Very manual and time consuming.

    any help would be appreciated.

    I guess if you have a trusted host that back up your files on a daily basis, and your websites are not updating hourly with more than 500 pages each, manually downloading them say once or twice a month shouldn't take much time and is worth it.
    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Many hosts allow "cron" jobs or have them included in the site admin panel. Write or copy a script of the comands to do a backup (TAR prefered) then download it for storage offline.

    MySQL is just as simple, but needs other comands, no idea about them.

    A certain host lost some of my bigger sites a while back - because they used corrupt tapes
