Enviar backups automáticos a otro servidor con Cpanel y PHP

Si a alguien le interesa la posibilidad de hacer backups de su cuenta de alojamiento web forma automática (con Cron jobs) y enviar el backup a otra cuenta de alojamiento web, entonces que siga leyendo…

Copiar el siguiente código a un archivo llamado (por ejemplo) fullBackup.php, cambiar los valores de las variables y enviarlo a una carpeta en vuestra cuenta. Podéis ponerlo en public_html, aunque lo ideal sería hacerlo en una carpeta oculta. Depués, es necesario crear una tarea programada (cron job), especificando la dirección del archivo creado (ejemplo: /home/usuario/public_html/fullbackup.php) y el intervalo de ejecución del script.

// PHP script to allow periodic cPanel backups automatically.
