yea what my PornCMS does is makes a data backup 4 times a day and a full content backup daily, then FTPs the backups to SimpleCDN automatically (optional plugin).

keeping the data separate makes it fast to recover one of those "oops i fucked up and deleted all my models" kinda things.

still, only took me about an hour to script the backup system, so should be fairly easy to set one up yourself. 2 functions: 1. make a zip file, 2. FTP the file to SimpleCDN (or another server). you can even get a cheap HostGator account for the backups.
