I guess I've managed to stump the user base with this one.

Would a chmod of 700 to the script file prevent anyone but my SSH user account from accessing or executing the script in any way? And is this a safe method to use providing my ssh account password is outlandishly complex?

I currently backup my sites twice a month or so. I'm looking at setting up a cron job to do a daily backup of my mysql databases and file system. The only problem is I have to code my mysql password into the script in plan text for the backups to work via cron; which is very bad security. Does anyon...

I have a couple quick questions regarding web server backups before I roll my own solution.

What is the frequency of backup performed by NFO, and how many historical backups are kept?

Are MySQL databases backed up as part of NFO's backup process?
