Backup and E-Mail
I have access to cron jobs through the CPanel interface with my host and want to use it to backup my MySQL every night at midnight, then zip the backup and e-mail it to me. Is this possible, if so, how would I do it?

Yeah, I had done a search and seen that post - but I don't have access to put it in the directory on the server - only a web based system. Also, I need to to come to my e-mail if possible. I will check out the FTP script though.

I can't use the FTP one as I don't have root access - this is shared hosted.

Hopefully Jaguar or another user will be able to shed some light on this for you. It is not my area of expertise within linux. Newbie stuff is more my speed.
Good luck,Dan

Hiya.

It is possible, but you will need the ability to have scripts you write placed on the server, and you will also need access to utilities such as tar and mail/mutt.
Let us know what your hosting company have given you access to.

I am not sure what programs are installed on the servers. Basically, I have a control panel option for Cron (see screenshots).
I do have SSH access to the server. I assume all the standard systems are available for the server, which should in mail and tar?
You can view the screenshot of what I can do via the CP here.

Olate,
Your missing the screen shots.
Also if you have not, if you would run from the cmd line "whoami" and what is the command prompt looks like. i.e. bob:> or root:> etc...Dan
