Backup files automatically with Transmit

Backups are very important. This is something that you learn once, and never forget again (usually as you try to explain why your wedding pictures no longer exist). The fine folks over at StrongSpace, a service that offers online storage, have posted a nice tutorial that goes through the process of using iCal, Transmit, and Automator to automate backups of files to an FTP server.

Don't be fooled, this will work with any online storage that Transmit can connect to, though it is best suited for backup of smaller files (such as AddressBook entries). I wouldn't recommend this as your only backup strategy, but it is good for certain files.
