You don't have to pay do you 
What corrupt file, files don't usually go corrupt unless the disk is dead.

The file got corrupt at 3 AM EST because d_k_iller's computer crashed in the middle of an upload. Chopping the css file into 400 lines...
Re: Server Backup
That's not a corrupted file. That's a failed upload.
You should have had a backup locally.
If you want to have the server make a copy of the www-data folder every day you could just run
The reason you had to pay was because you were asking for management of the server, which does not come under the package you have. If it was due to a problem caused by them / their system it would have been free.

rm -R /home/www-backup && cp -R /home/www-data /home/www-backupvia a cron job once a day. To backup to an external server, I would go with rsync.

Everything you said is spot on. I've been looking into rsync, but boy would it help if I was familiar with linux and system admin stuff.
