One other option that would work IF you have dedicated server access and your database files are smaller than 5 GIGS.  Sign up with amazon for an S3 account and then use the SUPER FLEXIBLE FILE SYNC software to synch the entire DNN folder with S3.  You can have multiple S3 buckets to hold as many images as you need - daily, weekly, monthly etc. And SUPER FLEXIBLE will keep them in sync with the local file system.  

The caveats are as I mentioned earlier - you need dedicated server access to install the sync software and your database has to be under 5 GIGS since 5 GIGs is the max file size the S3 handles at this time (last time I checked).

I have been using BackupNative for a couple of years on my shared host site, and recommend it. I only use it for backing up the files, rather than the files and the database, but it has worked reliably since version 3.x of DNN.

It seems as though Native can do the whol directory, which is good. I purchased the Pro version (which I am really liking!) and have run into some issues:

It says in this help file that you can use an absolute path:

"Backup folder name, relative to the site real path (will be created if necessary). e.g.: backup

IMPORTANT: A full path is interpreted like a remote backup (database in different box than the web server) and is assumed existent (cannot be automatically created). e.g. c:\databasefolder\backups"

I want to put it into:

F:\Backups\Websites  (same drive as my portal). It creates the DB file fine but falls over when creating the .zip (see message at bottom). So this means I have to put it under my website root, which means that if anyone knew the folder and filename they could download my entire site! I could put in a web.config file or secure the folder but I really don't want to put it under my website root as it does not belong there.

Have I missed something - is this possible?
