Well, you could do what I did on one of my sites... I set cron to execute a backup.c file, chmodded 777, then set in there the commands i wanted to have run, which creates a folder, backs up the sql database, tars the directory, then ftps it elsewhere and then removes the archive... kind of advanced for a beginner though lol
