I had a very poor experience with Evotiva BackScript.

I was with GoDaddy and had them install DNN. As indicated you cannot get to the DB or the virtual directory. Even if they do backups, the tech support told me they could only give me one copy at no charge. They also stated (from more than on tech) that they CANNOT give you a copy of your virtual directory.

I dumped GoDaddy for this very reason - GoDaddy does not backup your site each night. The 2 DNN modules that claim to do backups really don't work under al circumstances (bought both).

about backups...they pretty much suk on godaddy. if you ever need them to restore for you, they charge you $150 and you have to wait 7 to 10 days. seems crazy these days. it's like they put the backup tape on a cart with a mule pulling it to get the tape back to their datacenter.
Ok, I ran into this issue myself (not with GoDaddy), so I created my own Backup module. I won't pay $50 for a module that doesn't work and deletes negative reviews. This is really something that should be included in the core for free, I'm thinking after I get all the bugs out of my module, I'll submit the code to the corp.
Anyways, It works for me, I get a nightly backup uploaded to AWS S3 every night, so far the last week of off-site backups has cost me $0.28 USD. I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in running this, or just helping me test it on a few different hosting providers. As a free module developer I cannot justify purchasing a bunch of hosting accounts to test out my freely released applications. It's not available for download, you have to email me for further information.
