How to backup to local computer?

The entire server, or just accounts/files?
There's not a way to really backup the entire thing in a bootable format, but if you really want the whole thing you can login to SFTP using SSH login details and simply download everything.

Not quite to a local computer, but if you are interested in backing up to something like the amazon cloud, Xcloner works very well

It may also do ftp to another server. The documentation refers alot to Joomla but it will run on any php 5.2+ environment

Hi Derek,
Are we talking about WHM/cPanel or what?
WHM/cPanel backups will copy to a remote FTP. I've never actually used it but it does have the functionality. You would want to watch your disk space though as I don't think it deletes the backups after copying them to the FTP site.
If not WHM/cPanel I'm sure you could find scripts online to do it, maybe even write one yourself.

Derek,
As far as I know Google drive does not support FTP. Guess it would depend on the FTP server you run on your local machine as to whether or not you could configure it to use the Google drive folder but even if it didn't you could always use something to sync from the FTP folder into your Google drive folder.
Just a word of caution here, most residential ISPs don't like servers being run on their networks.

Why not get a 2nd KH VPS, or a RocketVPS even? 
Nope, unfortunately not.
That will be perfectly fine for simple backups. Disk space will be your only limiting factor.
