Has anyone heard or used http://backup-smart.com/?
It looks like an automated backup system for those using cPanel.

Im guessing it does similar to what i posted here in a more user-friendly way

Except that it's being initiated from my local drive.
I use automysqlbackup.sh to back daily backups but the files are to big to email.
So they just sit on my web server.

I downloaded backup-smart trial and trying it out now.

And $37 dollars seems reasonable ... saves a learning curve for some too ... nice

Probably can't put a price on backups.
My backup has been going for 70 minutes so far. I think it's doing a full backup, including databases.
It should come out to be 4.6G gzipped.

I've been testing this for the past day and it seems to work very well.
This program logs into cPanel and downloads all files/databases.
Only draw back is you need to keep the app open in order for it to run.
I set my backups to run while I sleep.

The only real problem I'm finding is that my main site is too large even to download a backup of files directly from cPanel.
I'm going to need to use subdomains so I can make backups.
