I need to come up with a solution so I can back up forum databases independently and remotely in a separate data center!

Can you guys come up with some suggestions on the best way to do this?

on the remote server create an FTP account.

On the DB server, code a shell script to do the backup and gzip it. Then have it ftp the backup to the remote and remove it upon success from the source.

Thanks Noppid, do you know of any good data centers that specialize in back up data storage that I can use for this ?

I have seen hosts offer this service. An automated off site backup. But I can't think of any in particular off hand.

Well can you find out more about this when you get the time, maybe write a FAQ, because I would link to it if you would do something of value on this! :)
