In the previous backup script there was a working zip class, but not according to the standards. Gmail checks the zip against these standards and rejects the mail. My current setup does obey the standards, so Gmail is accepting them without a hitch. In the end I decided to do a full backup twice a week. That sounds reasonable since, if something happens I will only lose three days (which is acceptable based upon the current comment rate) Jay, basically I was having issues with Gmail because of the way they handled my zipfiles.

But I'm at a loss to why you're having such issues with G-Mail. Perhaps it's time to switch to another hosting provider, such as Amazon S3. That way you won't have any issues with your zip files being flagged as a "virus". And thanks to Amazon's pay as you go system, it would only cost you a few cents per month, and it's very unlikely that Amazon is going to disappear over night.
