[wp-hackers] How do you guys back up Wordpress sites?

[Marcell Tisdol]

Usually shared host (hostmonster, hostgator) don't allow ssh access?

the script goes along the lines of

cd {website directory}
tar -zcvf httpdocs.tar.gz {website directory}
{do what I want :) Move to Amazon s3, another server, download}

I wrote a script last summer and published it

We host all of out sites on mediatemple so it's geared more towards that
crowd. However, if you modify it to your system it should work. Lemme know
:)
