1. Create a folder on your server called "backups".
2. If you have bash/shell access, create a simple text file and name it backups.sh
3. In this file, use mysqldump to dump all of your databases to sql files. Also, you can add tar commands to backup each domain's files as well.
4. Upload this file, backups.sh to your server and then set a cron job to execute this file every night.
5. Use rsync to sftp to them any server you want, or even to connect to your own home cloud drive, such as WDMyCloud or your own home ftp server.

If you do not have the ability to create a bash file, then you can do it all via a series of cronjobs, though that's a little less efficient I think.

If you don't know how to do this type of thing, just shoot me a PM and I can explain it in detail specific to your needs.
