I' recommend to explore the available backup options of your hosting provider, first.

Alternatively you may run the mysqldump command by cron at desired intervals.
There's an excellent tutorial on this at http://alvinalexander.com/mysql/mysql-database-backup-dump-shell-script-crontab

For archiving the Ossn data directory you can add 2 lines like

DATADIRBAK=datadirbackup.`date +"%Y%m%d"`.tar
tar cf ${DATADIRBAK} PATH_TO_YOUR_DATA_DIR

at the end.
