If you have FTP access to the site, and both the FTP server and your FTP
client program both support this command:
MGET /RECURSIVE
then you can schedule an FTP job on the receiving computer. Just make sure
never to use FTP for updating the remote site.
Otherwise, perhaps just backing up one critical folder, or just a few
critical files would be enough. For example, it might be sufficient to just
back up your data collection and/or database files. If so, you can use any
FTP server and client, or the "curl" program from
http://curl.haxx.se/
(Curl is a command-line program that, among other things, can retrieve files
by HTTP and save them to disk.)
In either case (curl or FTP) you would typically put the commands in a batch
file and then configure the Windows Task scheduler to run a command such as
cmd /C c:\webbackups\webbackups.bat
where webbackups.bat is your batch file.
