Nice thought - but I'm putting this solution on the (RH7) ISP server where our sites are hosted. Somehow don't think I will get near the /etc folder :-) Mind you, all php scripts were running as root till a few weeks ago, when they suddenly realised this might not be the most secure way of doing things.... Anyway it's all working nicely now. Three scripts called dailybackup.sh, weekly- and monthly- all executed by cron at the appropriate date/time, with a Web page to manage them online, safely backing up all the mySQL databases in the various domains, and emailing copies of the most important ones off-site. Luuuuvly.
