Solution 1

How to Automatically Backup Your Web Server Files With WinSCP over FTP article may help you to Backup your data on the FTP server to your Computer, but it won't use FileZilla. Anyway, it can be useful.

Backing up your data to FTP article can help you to set a scheduler and take a backup of your data that are on your HDD and send your data to an FTP Server.

Solution 2

I don't think there is a direct option of doing such thing with FileZilla. Try contacting your dedicated server company, they probably have a way of doing backups.

Solution 3

I use and would suggest Duplicati for FTP backups. It's "a free backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on cloud storage services and remote file servers." I also successfully use Cobian Backup.

I've lost loads of information caused by HDD errors or viruses. I have a Dedicated Server, and I would like to have an automated backup system using FileZilla. I want it to backup a certain directory every day.

How do I do it?

  Please note that FTP is insecure and you should be using SSH/SCP instead.

I tested it and its a fine application. you should set the settings on Scheduler Tab, so it can backup your data as scheduled options.

Now, its working :) just you have to hold the application Process. if you want to test it, you can easily set the scheduler as less time and check scheduler works or not. it must Works usually.

Can you add more information to your answer, specifically, how to use the software in a way that answers the askers question? Also, the asker asked about Filezilla. Why is this solution better?
