I do my backups on a filesystem-basis. I copy the whole document-root to
another location and make a .tar.bz2 from it.
Like that I have it all: The DW-system, the users, the wiki-pages, the
media-folder, the plugins - everything.
Moving to another webserver with that archive is only a matter of
unpacking. Easy.
That is one of the reason I love the fact that DW does _not_ use a
SQL-Database for storage.
Pros:
* cron-driven
* save to any server you have access to
* encrypt the archive and make it publicly available if you want to
(using gpg)
* send by mail if you want to
* more flexible than any out-of-the-box-solution
* not integrated into DW -> not accessible via HTTP
Cons:
* needs shell-access for the webhost (or on the backup server if you
get the data via ftp)
* no easy out-of-the-box-solution
* not integrated into DW

When backing up to another server, rsync springs to my mind...
