Cron job script for website backup

Hi there, I need to automatically back up the home directory of my website and my database. I need to setup 2 cron scripts where when I select the time or day, or month, etc, using my cpanel, the cron will send me an e-mail on a zip file of the backup of my home directory and database. I use cpanel. half payment to be made once you selected using escrow and full payment to be made after job is done. Not quite sure what you need or if you need access via FTP to install the script but let me know and will work something out
