I need a program that can run as a service on a Windows 2000 machine that can, at a predefined interval, download the contents of all the websites I host (preferably via ftp)

It would also be nice if the program could take a mysql dump/snapshot too...

Does anyone have any suggestions of a good tool?
If not then I'll probably work on putting something together via scripting.

Thanks

I looked at something called pyrobatchFTP which looked pretty good.

I haven't been able to figure out the proper scripting syntax to do what I want it to do yet, but it's close.

I don't do a mySQLDUMP however. I found a different program that replicates the files at certain intervals, then I use the pyrobatch to download the dupes. That program was called PeerSync, I believe, which claims to be able to copy open files as well.

So far, so good.

I use bacula from sourceforge.net

I can say it is one of the most complete backup program I found although it lacks a user-friendly GUI. The server side runs on linux but the client can run on windows too.

Cheers
