You can't directly backup an ftp host.
You could:
1) do a pre-backup script to mount the ftp site using your favorite method,
and a post-backup script to dismount it. (Dan answered this to me some time
ago)
2) Or via cron you could do wget and backup the local folder with backuppc
(Dan " doing it by cron is a hack and will likely cause you to have failed
backups if a minor change is made. you should use the pre and post backup
commands to handle this. you could mirror the whole ftp with wget or
something to a local directory, then backup that directory, but still you
should do it with a pre backup script, not with cron")

Onderwerp: [BackupPC-users] Backup remote ftp server (internet site)
Hi all,
i've installed BackupPC 3.2.0.
It works very well!
I'm trying to do a remote ftp server backup.
The ftp server is a internet site; i've ftp access to manage all site files.
My aim is to backup this site.
So, i create a new host, and set:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} - the full ftp address
$Conf{XferMethod} - FTP
$Conf{FtpShareName} - tryed both nothing and /htdocs (it's a web
site, and this it it's root).
$Conf{FtpUserName} - ftp host username
$Conf{FtpPasswd} - ftp host password
but, if i try to run a full backup, it does not run with this error:
Last error is "xfer start failed: Can't open connection to : Invalid
argument".
Any suggets/tips?
Thanks!
Regards
M
