I am running some Drupal based websites. I had to spent much of time for backup my websites daily/weekly. After i moved the websites to VPS and Dreamhost, i have ssh access so i wrote a small script to backup websites databases and user uploaded file to Amazon S3 automatically. The script is executed via cron tab daily.

AutoMySQLBackup is a great script that help us backup MySQL databases automatically. It can run thru cron job in or manually. It is easy to setup and make it works. I have just get it works only 5 minutes. The script uses mysqldump to backup MySQL databases so make sure you have it at your linux server/vps.

It is an open source/freeware so you are free to place it at your server/vps to backup your MySQL databases daily, weekly, monthy or manually.

Drupal is a great CMS (Content Management System) and Web development framework. I have tried some other open CMS solutions before as Joomal, Typo3, CMS Made Simple and DotNetNuke, all of them are good. I choosed Drupal as based system for my websites (blogging, CMS, ecommerce solutions). I love Drupal. I is flexible to develop large web sites by reducing development time and increasing system performance.

This is a Drupal based website. It is running on Drupal 6, using a free XHTML/CSS template from Solucija and some contributed modules from Drupal community.
