Backup via cron

[heggied]

Is it possible to automate the site backup feature through a cron job ?

It would be possible to backup your domain data, and databases (if you know how to run mysql via command line)...

to get your started a command like:
tar xzf /home/username/backups/mybackup.tar.gz /home/username/domains/*
added as a cron job would create "mybackup.tar.gz" as often as you set it.
