More precicely, does the final remote dir exist? For instance, if you're backing up example.com, I guess you need the dir web_backup and example.com within that dir, i.e. web_backup/example.com/.

Thanks for your comments, Jeff. I learned I need to include some sort of instructions in this script.

Hmm.. don't know what the problem is.. Wish I could help. Let's see. Do you have a "web_backup" directory at your host that should recieve the backup? (I guess I shouldn't use it in the script hard coded.) If you try to do the same thing manually via cPanel (with the credentials you inserted in the script) everything works? The command between "# initiate backup" and "# gets curl return code" is on one line? Does the version 1.0 of this script work for you?

Keep getting error with this script:

Copying backup...Timeout ...
[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]Retrying Copying backup...Timeout ...
[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]Retrying Copying backup...Timeout ...
[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]Unable to scp /home/veggie08/backup-6.6.2008_10-19-17_veggie08.tar.gz (please check the host [ip addy] and user [username] and password)

= = =

But the ip, username and pwd are correct in the script. What could be producing the error? The port #??
