The Great Bay Beacon Endpoint Profiler 2.1.8 has a number of options for backups.  Backups are automatically run daily and manual backups can be run from the command line from the web based GUI.  The files can be manually downloaded, but the backup files are not be automatically moved to a remote location.  Below is a simple shell script that automatically backups the Profilier database and the cron job that schedules the shell script to run daily.  The cron job entry is in bold.
