Site Downtime

I presumed the host backed-up each night... perhaps not tho  :x

Glad it wasn't the cluster taking a dump..(knocking on wood)..we really should look into seeing how much a backup is and get up some donations....Just a thought.

Backups are usually an option available to the customer via either cpanel, or vdeck, or whatever control system is installed.  They should not cost anything.

Unless he uses an offsite backup, that is a possibility. ;P

just rsync it to another server on a weekly basis or something.

also: if using something like cpanel, most times it has an option to add cron jobs and to tar/gzip up your entire site, etc. which would work as well.

My old site used to carry out a weekly remote FTP backup, and that was on cpanel

It all depends on the service provider really... but there are many backup options.
