It appears that GoDaddy might actually support this:

>From their help page regarding hosting (I use them myself, although I
have never used their cron facility). 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.
