If you have shell/cron access, why do you need php to save backups and send email. It is all as easy doable in shell itself using mysqldump, gzip and mail functions.

Yes, but in most cases shell access is not enabled by default but there are cron settings in cpanel so this is nice no-brainer workaround.

Oh, I get it. I don’t use cpanel which explains it :)

Hello, I have some error when I run the script. It said “Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/a8802181/public_html/backup/index.php on line 144″. One the line 144, the code is “if (chmod($log_file, 0644) && is_writable($log_file)) …”. I try to chmod index.php to 666 or 777 or 755. It still have a problem. Please help me.
Thank you.
