Thanks Carson for your comment and the backup service you provided. I agree automated backups are very useful, since we usually forget to backup after the first couple of times.
There are ways to automatically backup with cpanel as well and I will talk about it soon.
Regards.

One lesson I’ve learned not to long ago in just how important backups are – Few months ago our web host SiteFusion3000 has gone out of business – Our site along with the contents vanished of the Internet. We had to recreate the whole thing all over again and waste 5 weeks and almost 3k on rebuilding from scrach. I highly recommend using an automated backup solution to stay safe. Or at least do periodical backups. We use http://www.websitebackup.ca for mirroring our website on weekly basis. If you are running a web based business you should always make sure you have a backup – I do not count on your web host staying in business.
