Backup to FTP??

[John Prophet]

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.

[John Prophet]

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.

[John Prophet]

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.
