i might just be lost...but how do i back up nodes?
i just got myself a external backup system and i want to back up my product nodes, well....fact is, i want to back up drupal, ubercart, and all my data bases..can someone point me to a easy, simply back up wizard?

actually...if it isnt too much to ask, is their someone that knows enough that would be interested in talking to me on the phone so i can actually walk through some of these things, so i can use rationality. becuase perhaps im just more audio, but it seems im having an issue with some of the explainations on the drupal and ubercart sites.

thanks,
kasperjames

The most simple solution to this is:
- backup your database using mysqldump on your server (in linux shell), it creates a backup of your whole database.
- backup all your files (including the file generated by mysqldump), just by ftp sync.

If you want to automate it, just create a cron job with your mysqldump command in it.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, type "mysqldump" in google Eye-wink
