Please keep in mind:
I use often https://sqlbak.com/So I'm use to using various tools and plugins to back up my Wordpress sites and databases but I'm not sure how to go about backing up my Chevereto site.
What methods do you guys use to backup your Chevereto site and all the images contained therein?
If you tell us a little about your hosting you will find the replies more useful, is it shared? VPS? Windows? Linux? any control panel installed?So I'm use to using various tools and plugins to back up my Wordpress sites and databases but I'm not sure how to go about backing up my Chevereto site.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I know I don't get a whole lot of options with the Shared Hosting deal. As far as the "unlimited" features - yeah, I know about that too. But as of now my host has assured me it isn't a problem yet. The scope of the site isn't really large so I don't have an exorbitated amount of images and in the past I've actually just used FTP to back everything up.On shared hosting your options are fairly limited, cPanel has a backup feature it just may be a paid addon from the host, and another thing with shared hosting, even if the host says you have unlimited space/bandwidth eventually they will tell you you’re using too much space and/or bandwidth, image hosting sites can grow very fast.
The suggestions above like rsync etc cannot be used on a shared host, migration to VPS is best then your backup options are unlimited, and there are many free web control panels with built in features for file and database backups you can install to make life easier, such as ispconfig, webmin, CWP etc
