Don't forget about backups

Good call...

Currently I have a script that takes a DB dump in the early hours of each morning and names it according to the day of the week. So there are always 7 individual days of backups available on the server. I have another script here at home that pulls those backup files off the server so I have them locally on three separate machines. So database backups are reasonably safe. I also have a script that zips up the CGI-BIN of the most critical sites and takes them offsite weekly.

For a VPS I will probably need to beef this up...
