Automated Backups?

[JaymeNYC]

Does this CMS have any options for Automated Backups?

[Augustas]

No, CMSMS does not have such built-in functionality

But what about the back-up dedicated projects in the forge: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=backup 

However, i haven't used the existing backup modules yet - so I can't tell to what extend they do their job automated. If you have enough control over your server, you could create a CRON job that backups your DB and CMS file tree every now and then. But, I do not have a lot of experience with it either. That's next on my list

So, as Augustas said, there is no automated back-up tool directly integrated into CMSMS

The best option depends a little on what you want to backup with what frequency and where to.

What would be the best way to make sure I can restore 1 of my sites if it gets hacked or somethin like that?  I have alot of sites, so Just trying to have somethin to fall back on incase somethin happens to one of them

[Augustas]

for some of my CMSMS sites I am using Mysql backup-to-email script from this forum:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 472.0.html

I think I slighlty modified on my server, and created a cron job which sends archived database as attachment to my gmail address. then you just configure how frequent you would like your cron job to be executed - every day or once a week.
