Automatic Backups using Filezilla

Question

I've lost loads of information caused by HDD errors or viruses. I have a Dedicated Server, and I would like to have an automated backup system using FileZilla. I want it to backup a certain directory every day.

How do I do it?

I don't think there is a direct option of doing such thing with FileZilla. Try contacting your dedicated server company, they probably have a way of doing backups.

I use and would suggest Duplicati for FTP backups. It's "a free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers." I also successfully use Cobian Backup.

My suggestion is use the Cobian Backup Software, it's free and can backup all data automatically to a remote FTP.

I use it to backup servers and desktop computers, and works fine. Have a lot of options.
