Suggestions for offsite Backup Scripts

Hi, I'm working on scripts to copy daily CPANEL backups off-server and offsite. Appreciate any suggestions/tweaks to the following:

First, every thing is initiated from /scripts/postcpbackup

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# This script is called after normal CPANEL Backups complete

# First ftp all *.tar.gz files in /backup/cpbackup/daily to the FTP/NAS server we have thru our ISP.
# Note that this server can only be accessed from the private LAN. FTP is the supported protocol.
# Bandwidth is *not* charged to our account.

/root/backups/offsitebackup.sh

# Now, either on a specific Day of the Week (DOW) or day(s) of the month, execute a script to 
# copy the same backup files to an offsite backup site we can access from the public internet.
# This service supports rsync and we will use that instead of FTP.
# Bandwidth usage is charged to our account.

# Need logic to do DOW or DOM calculations to run this only on the required days

#### /root/backups/ibackup.sh

# All Finished...

/root/backups/offsitebackup.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# This script will FTP CPANEL backups to an offsite FTP server
# It should be called from /scripts/postcpbackup
# See: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/ScriptHooks
#

backupdir=/backup/cpbackup/daily

# site-specific variables for remote FTP

ftpserver="nas.softlayer.com"
ftpuser="xxxxx"
ftppasswd="yyyyy"
ftpdir="server08"

# Be sure to manually create the ftpdir on the ftp server
# or the script will just put them in the root if it can't cd.

#===> END site-specific variables - customize for your site
############################################################

# FTP it to the off-site server

ftp -n $ftpserver <<EOF
user $ftpuser $ftppasswd 
bin
prompt
cd $ftpdir
lcd ${backupdir}
mput *.tar.gz
quit
EOF

# And we're done
echo "Offsite Backup Complete!"
exit

/root/backups/ibackup.sh not posted in this thread. There are other threads that explain how to do offserver rsync.
