My favorite way of setting SQL backups these days is to combine SQLBackupAndFTP with Dropbox. Dropbox allows you to store 2GB for free – more than enough for the majority of small clients.

Here’s how it works:

• When you install Dropbox, it creates a special “My Dropbox” folder. Everything that you put into this folder will be synced to the Dropbox servers in the cloud.
• Open SQLBackupAndFTP, select databases to backup, check “Store backups in a local/network folder” and set the folder to be “My Dropbox” folder.

That’s it,  all of your backups now will be copied to Dropbox servers right after a backups is created. Neat.
