A script to auto backup web server files?

[sri]

Hello all,

I run a WordPress blog hosted at DreamHost. I was wondering if anyone know a method to automatically backup (to the web server and e-mail) all the files in a directory (wp-content/themes/freicurv, to be specific).

Thanks in advance.

Dreamhost allows cron jobs. Set one up to tar/compress that directory and email it to you.
