Automatizing Server Backups

[Solomon]

I set the Cron Jobs (Advanced) in my CPanel to make backups each day, each week and each month, at a certain time and added an email address where the Cron Output ought to be sent. I am not getting any information nor is the Cron Job making any backups as it is supposed to. Am I doing something wrong ?

Is there a way to automatically generate a full backup and then store it on my computer without having to manually make one and then download it to a backup drive on my computer? When making a backup using the Cron Job Tab does it generate a backup that contains the Home Directory Backup as well as a MySQL Database Backup? Or does one need to make a second entry in the Cron Job to back up the MySQL Database?

Thanks for any information or pointing me to any article or knowledge base etc. regarding this..

I would highly recommend you trying out BqBackup. They offer a $5/10GB of space per month, where you can store your database and anything on you servers to be compressed and transferred to their servers (Offsite backups)
