The script was initially built for godaddy shared hosting. However, as of 2014-12-26, the script will now work on any host that can run bash scripts, including VPS and dedicated servers.
Make sure to fill the "Configuration" section before running the script.
In order to run the script automatically, a cron job needs to be setup. To setup a Cron job, go to your Web Hosting Panel (CPanel, Plesk, etc...), and search for "Cron Job Manager". Create a new cron job, and choose how often do you want the backup to occur.
More info on how to install and run can be found on: http://www.tech-and-dev.com/2013/10/backup-godaddy-files-and-databases.html
With the correct configurations the script will now work on any host that can run bash scripts, including VPS and dedicated servers.
