Joomla Backup Cron Job for GoDaddy

In order to backup your database on a GoDaddy shared hosting plan, first enable SSH and then create a sitebackup.sh file with the following commands:

bash: #!/bin/bash
tar -cvvf /$HOME/html/fullsite_`date +\%Y\%m\%d`.tgz .

Browse to this file in the GoDaddy Cron Manager.
