Server Backup
When backing up your server, is it just a matter of copying the files out of the apache root? or do I have to burn cd's? How often do you backup your files? If I have a copy of my files on another computer and then just upload them to the server should I still back the files up? (I am the only one for now who can put files on the server)

You want to back up the /home/mywebsite/public_html and MySQL files on the server. If your content is static then you don't need to back it up. But if your running MySQL then I would back it up daily. I back my server up two ways. First I back up the files on the server to the backup hard drive. Then I download the files to my workstation. And once a month I burn them to CD. So I have 3 backup copies should anything happen.

The following is what I do.
I save copies of all files to run my sites on my desktop. I also backup MySQL periodically, and I restore database on my desktop; this insures that I have valid data and I can use backup files.
