[olug] Backing up a FTP server?

[Curtis LaMasters]

I use BackupPC for linux based backups and have never been happier.
It's mostly web based, has a ton of features and flexiblity and is
pretty easy to get up and running.  I'm sure you could keep with the
script based backups but they are a bit harder to manage in my
opinion.
