I just got done developing a program to regularly backup my databases. I mostly wrote it to take an existing file and reset a database to that file. I found that while running online demos of my software, people would add inappropriate content or change settings or break it somehow. So, now I can reset my demos to a "perfect" demo state to show people. Currently all backups are just saved to the server drive. Having a tie in with some kind of CVS or maybe even free online storage space would be very nifty. I will have to look into doing that. Hey cool.
