you backup to external servers dude.......
he did, just not daily, due to bandwidth restraints.
Maybe you can explain what bandwidth restraints have to do with it?
It doesn't take a month to transfer a backup, does it? That'd be 61 kBps....
Why can't backups be continuous?
Normally with hosting plans you are only allowed to transfer so much data per month. I can't speak to the terms of his plan but that external backup traffic would count against his overall cap on bandwith transfer for the month.
