Or, you can simply avoid godaddy and avoid problems they have in hosting…

How long does it typically take to back up?
I’m not getting the link, and not seeing the file either.

For some reason I get the following errors:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\5249189\html\sitebackup.php on line 62
Error: Unable to create MySQL backup directory, please check permissions.
Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for ./fullsite_2011-10-14-06-07-42.tar.gz in D:\Hosting\5249189\html\sitebackup.php on line 75

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Thanks a lot for this. I’ll switch to a cPanel hosting next billing cycle, but until then, this is really useful!

Thanks HERO ! Worked like a charm! Took a bit for the tar file to show up in my FTP program for some reason, so i ended up making about 5 backups (im not the most patient person), hehe, but worked. You Rock! You should have a DONATE button!

Keep up the Excellent Work,
James
