Can I Set up a Cron Job for Backups

[Matt]

Your sites are automatically backed up nightly here. However you should still backup your site locally if your data is important to you. You should not set the cron up to do backups, to hard on the servers to allow sites to run more than one backup per day. You could run this on a dedicated server if you liked. But you do have nightly and weekly backups here already.
