So I can't recommend any. Sorry.<br /> Usually I just use SSH to do backups between servers.</p> <p>Perhaps try to contact your host? Some hosting company already have backup solution.<br /> They might have some suggestion. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-uploads-to-myself#post-4784 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:01:51 +0000 dom 4784@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Is there a script you can recommend?</p> <p>I am new to this stuff and wouldn't really know what to look for.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Dom </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-uploads-to-myself#post-4738 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 15:58:38 +0000 yuniar 4738@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, at this moment MachForm doesn't actually attach the files into the email, instead a download link is provided.</p> <p>We're considering to provide an option to attach the file for future version.</p> <p>For now, I think what you need is a remote backup script. MachForm uploads all files under your "machform/data" folder. I suppose you will need to use a script which zip this folder (or any specific folder) and then upload it into remote server.</p> <p>There are many scripts out there, below might be a good start to search:<br /> <a href="http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/file-manipulation/file-backup/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hotscripts.com/category/php/scripts-programs/file-manipulation/file-backup/</a> </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/email-uploads-to-myself#post-4734 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 03:11:04 +0000 dom 4734@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have used Machform to create - so far - about ten forms for my website.</p> <p>I want one of those forms to collect uploaded files and store them on a remote secure server as backup. I'm not sure where the server they'll be uploaded to will be. I have looked at sites like humyo.com and iDrive though.</p> <p>The only other idea I have to achieve this is to alter Machform so that uploads are emailed to my computer (rather than just a link) and that my PC automatically puts the attached files in a folder (I have an app that can do this). That is then synced to a remote server like humyo. But this is not ideal because if the PC goes down the automation is 'broken'.</p> <p>So I guess my questions are this;</p> <p>1) Can Machform be altered to send uploaded files to a remote server or email address? If so, how?<br /> 2) Can anyone suggest a backup facility that this might work well with?</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Dom </p>
