Automated Backup

Does anyone have a process for backing up their site (files and db)?
Ideally something that happens automatically on a daily basis for the db and a weekly basis for files?

I use https://www.codeguard.com/ for some sites. Got to pay for it but per site it's not much.

MODX Cloud platform has this built in.

Thanks but I'm not hosting in the modx cloud - we have a standalone server.

is it somethign I can set up as a cron job? I have no idea about how though!

Sure. Just thought I'd mention it. I had a few non MODX cloud sites which moved to the platform specifically for that feature. Thought it was worth mentioning.

Is the standalone server a VPS running Plesk etc?

I've also used a product called Akeeba (standalone edition). I think originally it was for Joomla but now supports almost anything. It'll back up your site and database at predetermined times and there are various DropBox and GoogleDrive integrations.

Thanks - appreciate it.
I'm on cPanel rather than Plesk.
How are you finding the Modx cloud performance?

Excellent actually. Initially when the service started there were a few hiccups but that's a few years back. No problems since and they've since setup a status page: http://status.modxcloud.com/

Support is speedy too.

Thanks - what has put me off is that we often host emails for clients too - do you just use a third party for that instead?

Generally have that on a different server.
I *think* there was talk of mail coming to MODX Cloud but can't be sure.

Someday, I hope to give UpgradeMODX a backup feature, but it probably won't appear any time soon.
