It’s pretty easy to use and the requirements are basic. It’s hosted on Google Code so feel free to play around with it. More details and usage instructions etc can be found on it’s project page and Wiki.

There are a number of big features that I’ll be looking at implementing over the coming weeks so the script should be improving quite regularly.

Stephen.

Update: version 1.1

Added the ability to back up MySQL databases from remote servers.

Update: version 1.2

Added ability to control when backups are scheduled, either hourly, daily, weekly or monthly.
