Luego de subirlo al servidor, el comando para el Cron es "/usr/bin/php5 /home/tu-web/nombre-script.php" sin las comillas y utilizando la ruta donde lo suban, en este caso sería la raíz del server.
El script original es de Justin Cook y en lugar de almacenar los respaldos localmente, los envía por FTP. Luis lo modificó para hacer backups locales.
Espero que el dato sirva, lo estuve probando y funciona de lujo
