Full backup of Website

[moltenice]

Hey all! Sorry if this may sound like a triviam question, but I honestly do not know the answer!

I'm looking for any paid of free software (preferably free of course) that can allow me to backup my website.

Now with past experiences I found out that using simple *download all files* the website is NOT backed up with it's CHMOD values, and perhaps I think sometimes cgi files might not be downloaded correctly, thus making the website useless after uploading unless I manually change all values of all files again (really painful procedure). sometimes, .htaccess files aren't downloaded either!

Is there and software that can backup my complete website with each file's CHMOD values as well as .htacess files and cgi's so literally all I have to do is restore all the files (via the software or otherwise) and everything is back to that state?


And finally, my last question is that is there any other way other than phpMyAdmin to backup databases as I have many different databases located in different places.

Please answer the two above questions!

Thanks a lot! :)

You could set up a cron job to back up your database.

Oh okay. What about the rest of the things? Backing up databases isn't as crucial as my first question.
