I run on an old laptop a website (Joomla + MediaWiki + Moodle + a couple
of other things).

The site now is offline and I'm ok with my automated backups of all the
hard drive, but it's going to go online in a few weeks and I'd like to add 
some more security.

What I'd like to have is periodic snapshots of the site, so when the
hardware will fail (I'm pretty sure it will, just a matter of time) I
can easily transfer the latest snapshot on another machine running a web
server and a databse.

My idea is to cp (or rsync) the /var/www/host/ directory and, at the
same time to mysqldump the related databases. Then I'd create an archive
with this data together and transfer it via nfs on another disk.
Cron will do it every twelve hours.

Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.
