Backing up database/files to another server

    Is there some sort of script that allows you to automatically back up a database and/or files from one server, and save them on another server? I have three hosting accounts over two servers, and would like to cross-back-up: back up the databases and files on server A to server B; the files on server B to server A, etc.

    Anybody know if this is possible?

    Definitely possibly just need time for google-fu'ing :D

    Haven't done it myself though i do manually backup to other servers usually with SCP transfers. Yeah slow using SCP.

    I do it. I use a cron job to rsync my files to another server every night. You need to set up a key on the server to take your login. I use bqbackup and they had the instructions posted telling me how to set it up. I used to have them just scp'd from one of my servers to the other, but decided I wanted my backup way offsite just in case... :)
