hi all,<br /><br />have trawled the net for a simple backup php script that I can run using CRON but cannot find anything that suits my needs - i am no PHP expert but would like something fairly simple to modify - a script that can, via CRON, backup my public_html directory and save the result as a zip file. <br /><br />aaaaaaaaaaany volunteers? <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

thanks!<!--content-->
right, i get these errors, eventhough the file is created fine, and i am able to unzip it once downloaded.<br />still, it would be nice to get a 'clean' cron execution message and not this messy one. can anyone hint me toward what might be causing this?:<br /><br /><!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->tar: WysiwygPro: Cannot savedir: Permission denied<br />tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors<br /><br />bunzip2: Control-C or similar caught, quitting.<br />bunzip2: Deleting output file BU_20060722.tar.bz2, if it exists.<br />mv: cannot stat `BU_20060722.tar.bz2': No such file or directory<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--content-->
