Backup to FTP??

Ok, whats the general concept here.....or rather....if a company (or individual) is on cable internet and along with their ISP package they get some webspace....how hard is it to configure a back to go to the webspace.

I see plenty of progs that backup to ftp...so basically thats all I need yes?

A backup prog and some webspace??

Thanks, JP

Yes, but webspace where the host knows it's your files and is WILLING to allow those files to be stored there.

Well if the service you are PAYING for gives you 10MB of space then thats YOUR space, correct? lol. I would hope they wouldnt mess around and delete it.

That depends on the agreement you make. You're probably agreeing they'll host a website, not a dumpsite.

hmm, space is space isnt it? Besides, the biz I am thinking of has some sort of "business package" with the local cable company..so maybe they have more space available etc. (not that I would think a typical ISP would be a great place to store any sort of critical or sensitive backups, lol)

"Space is space" is not what it is.

Most agreements explicity state that the space is to host a web site.
