I think video is the way to go if you are so inclined.
Thanks for your help!

Use RSnapshot.
It is funny you are going down each of my presentations (ASULUG, PLUG, ABLEConf) for the last year in reverse order. If only you had one about VPN's in there is would have hit all four! :)
Makes me think I really should put that stuff on my blog at some point ;)

I'm already rsyncing to a backup server. The short coming someone pointed out would be if a table was dropped by accident or by a successful hacker then the rsync would replicate the changes to the backup server, leaving me with a real problem. So what I want to do is dump the data, tar it and store it off site.
I can write a script to ftp the tarball, however I was wondering if there was a service that will just ftp in and copy what is there. That would be the simplest. Of course it would have to be SFTP.

in many many ways really.
the simplest "dirt" thing that comes to mind is a cronjob/backup script useing tar with compression the files you want to save then and ftp command to push the newly created file.
I know there are tools that can automate this im sure.

Man I've got 3 threads going at once. Thanks for all your help.
I want to do some automated backups and I've got this picture in my head of a service that can be configured to upload files from a specified folder by configuring it to FTP into my server.
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance!

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
