Virgil, > How do you back up your clients data to your site
You can use a MySQL dump and then FTP the data to your workstation and/or another site. You can also timestamp your updates/inserts and log your deletes so that you only need to backup revised data if your data sets are HUGE. Linux has a scheduler called Cron that you can use to automatically schedule your backups so that you don't need to do this manually. You can also create a Cron script that verifies that your backups took place and sends an email notification verifying a good backup or alerting you that there were problems. Ted Roche pointed out a backup only service called rsync.net. Low cost and flexible w/the option for simultaneous backups across multiple geographic locations (in case the US blows up, your data can be safe in Europe).
