    I'd suuggest using rsync for most of that stuff. There should be extensive
    HOWTO articles online on rsync; I remember one in Linux Magazine, for
    example.

    For MySQL, I'm not sure. I believe that MySQL still lacks a open source hot
    backup tool, meaning that you would either have to pay $$ for a commercial
    tool, or shutdown MySQL and rsync the files.

    However, I'm not terribly up to date on MySQL ... we use Postgres here.
