what control have you got over the server. Any large backup will take
CPU time, and memory. If you had cron access I would suggest using
zip.
You might be able to find out what functions are on your system, and
use on of them to recursively zip up a website.

for instance try
<?php
$files = file_get_conten ts('tobezipped. txt');
system('minizip -o -9 pdfs.zip '.$files);
exit();
?>
where tobezipped.txt is a space separated list of double quoted files.

Good idea. Even better would be in that system() call:

system('nice -10 minizip -o -9 pdfs.zip '.$files);

The 'nice' command causes the task to be run in 'nice' mode at
a lower priority so that it doesn't interfere with other more
important functions being performed by the server.

Appending ' &' to the command may also force it to run in the
background so your php script doesn't have to wait for it to
complete:
system('nice -10 minizip -o -9 pdfs.zip '.$files.' &');
....but I am unsure if that will work.

I suppose it might be worth mentioning the old fashioned way - good
old FTP.
Filezilla running at your house with a cron job to go fetch
everything.
PHP running at your house with a cron to start your custom script up
and use ftp to grab everything.
