backups

I am trying to create a backup of my website for free. I just want to have a backup of my website, including not only all files and the configuration but also the databases. I mean, a full backup. If it can be done automatically, it would be better.

I feel there are better ways than using the cpanel to achieve that (actually, I believe sometimes web hosters does not have any cpanel).

I read the following on how to do it:

Automatically mirror the entire contents and configuration of your main server to a secondary backup server on a completely separate network in a different data centre. Use RSync, FXP, cPanel voodoo, or whatever method you wish to automate syncing.

That is why I installed Rsync Daemon which is an alternative to SSH for remote backups. I configured it but the test went wrong. The terminal is showing me this:

pablofiumara@pablofiumara-Lenovo-G470:~$ sudo rsync [email protected]::share
[sudo] password for pablofiumara: 
rsync: failed to connect to pablofiumara.com (50.87.147.75): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.9]

pablofiumara@pablofiumara-Lenovo-G470:~$ sudo rsync [email protected]::share  failed to connect to 50.87.147.7 (50.87.147.7): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=3.0.9]

What should I do? Is there a better or easier way to achieve what I wish (I mentioned this in the first paragraph)?
