backup and securirity program(s)????

[paradoxblue]

ok so i now have my site hosted with a wicked server who's giving me 60 gigs of space and 1600gigs bw

im hoping or trying to find a ftp type backup program where i can manually set which parts of my drives i want backed up. and ngihtly or such it will connect and re upload any files ive hanged and or added? more of a manual thing.r ight now i do it by hand every night its a pain in the ass
know of such a program?

ALSO i dislike the look of the windows password screen im looking for a kewl pc locking program that puts my pc into a cool lock out state with the stroke of a few keys.. something that looks really kewl like seen on tv

i know the xp one is effective but im going for.. well sex appeal for my pc somethign dark and tight looking

any help would be great guys thanks!!

On the server backup. You could schedule you files to zip, thenScript FTP commands in a batch file and schedule it to run. Cons: UN/password in plain text in the script file and can't script connecting to oddball ports.

Examples:
Batch file

ftp -s:backup.scr <IP Address/FQDN>

Script file

<UserName>
<Password>
binary
get <Filename>
quit

hmm that may work but doesnt help with just adding the newest files to it.

cause i got about 12 gigs to backup lol. cant re up the zip every time.

thought about looking at rsync?

Ok, I don't know zip command line, but Rar.exe command line has an "updated" switch.

Other than this you're on your own.
