I wrote a script to do this with Amazon s3 and placed it on the cron job list to run automatically, but not sure if you can do the same with Dropbox.
Would be nice if they had some other backup options in the backup section of Directadmin to be able to automatically backup to Amazon s3, Dropbox etc like they do in cPanel especially as cloud storage is booming.

Hello,
Did you read this: https://www.dropbox.com/developers ?
Probably you can find a solution there.

@ebersol,
At least my Linux Mint desktop (based on Ubuntu/Debian) runs a dropbox UI and has a drive attached. The same way I would think you might attach dropbox to a server (if I recall it correct I've seen it on a server of one of our customers) and use native backups of DirectAdmin to store/copy backups on the attached drive. Since I don't use dropbox this way and none of my active customers do that either, I don't have detailed instructions on how to do it.
So it is fully up to you to test and make it working.
