CRON Job - saving to a different server?
Thanks for the all the help last evening on CRON jobs. It's now working.
Is it possible with cron to save a backup of a file to a different server or location? The idea being that if one host goes arse over tit, I'll have a backup of the DB on another server?
Many thanks,
Ed Ludlow
