The help page is here: http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=224 * Can I automate backups on my Linux virtual dedicated server? * Certainly. Your backup is completely self-managed, and you have control over the scripts and programs you run on your dedicated server. You can create a cronjob in Linux to automatically back up the data on your virtual dedicated server.... I take the wording above to mean that "yes, you can create a cronjob in Linux"- and not just for backups. I would check directly with Godaddy though, to verify you should call them.
