Hiya... Ive used the backing up function in CPanel to upload the backup to a different server, to avoid me having to download it every time on my slooow 56k modem.  Only problem is that I dont think the free host im transfering the data to appreciates me dumping backups on their server and keeps on deleteing it, which is quite understandable.  I was wondering if anyone knows a free host that will allow me to dump the backup onto their server... It needs to allow a minimum of 100Mb space. And I dont want to dump the data to my lunar pages account.

If not then I have a question.  I have a friend who is on a fast connection and is willing to download the backup onto their computer, the only problem being that I dont want him to find the mySQL password in one of the files.  What I was wondering was wheter i could temporaraly delete the file and then make a backup of it... If I click on backup does it generate a backup of what is on the server right then or does it utilize a previous bacup made say a few hours ago???

Thanks

Thanks, but I couldnt find a free host that would allow this...
Oh by the way I need confirmation of whether cpanel makes an image of the current data or utilizes a previous backup
