For me it's a really great component. Just need to install JCron Sheduler from JoomlaPlug too. $49.95 for 1 year and you can use it with unlimited websites! It's not free but very easy to use and I don't worry anymore. It's just my humble opinion but I really think that's a good investment.
So, Franck, are you saying that you installed JoomlaCloner AND JoomlaPlug too? Is that two prices for two components, or part of the same package or order. Any details about that?
Thanks, man!

Yes Dave. I installed JoomlaCloner AND JCron (both of us from JoomlaPlug.com); JCron is a free component, easy to use too and essencial if you want to cron your backups

An open source backup solution, Joomla! Pack, is also available
at the forge
.
Joomla! Pack is a PHP application that strives to be the complete solution for backing up Joomla! based sites, creating custom Joomla! installations and cloning Joomla! sites. The application creates a gzipped tar archive (.tar.gz) with your site's file and a modified version of the standard Joomla! installer. In order to restore the backed up site, all you have to dois to uncompress the archive on your server and navigate to the installation directory, in the standard Joomla! installation fashion. This means that a backup you create on one host can be restored on a different host without much more hassle than updating database preferences! - Yves

I always pick a host that has cpanel. You can shedule daily backups very easy. My current problem is that the backup is on the same machine the site is on. They offered me some space on a remote server but as it turns out, if I ftp the backup to that sever, it eats away at my monthly bandwidth

My hosting Control Panel allows me to zip the entire site (with database) and then it e-mails me the zipped file. I can archive it and copy it as I please.

Thank you for posting this as I've been searching around for a while for a solution like this. One question, how would this script need to change if I wanted the DB emailed to me instead of stored on a backup server?
