Automatic Backup Service
Jul 2, 2008
I have around 750 megabytes of data on a Windows 2003 server, and I would like to find an off-site / web service that I can use to back this data up incrementally at least nightly. Nightly incrementals would probably be 1-25MB in size. Full backups could run every other week or monthly, as the update rate is fairly low.
Ideally, I'd like to find some software to make this set-it and forget-it. Of course, periodic audits of the backup would be performed, but I don't want something I have to nanny constantly.
As I said, this is a Windows server, so a service would be ideal. A scheduled task would be just as good, I suppose.

What's the best way to set up an automatic file backup to Amazon's S3 service? I have a Linux cpanel VPS. I have minimal VPS administration knowledge but at least the VPS is managed by a good team
Is there any way to do incremental backups to save on the bandwidth charges?
(a full backup for me would be about 15 gigs each time)

Razorservers.com provide offsite backup service that can be used for not only servers but also PCs, Mac, linux, Windows, Solaris, etc. Think that must be useful for many web masters.
Does your host provide the same?

First of all, forgive me if I am posting this on the wrong section .
I am the owner of CyberSP.org, a really small service provider running on a2b2, and PROUD OF IT.
I had a deal with Skylar, the owner of Crissic.com, which I am not going to talk about it in this forums, but, all I can say, is that he offered me a 1 year 50gb backup account, (well, he didn't offer , it was our deal).
About 2 months using it, and it was running perfectly until then, I thought: ok, let's see how's the server going, and then, I made df -h and it shows: 3GB Available.
WHAT? 3 GB available on a BACKUPS SERVER? How's this possible!!!??
So, opened the first ticket regarding this, waited about 6 ~8 hours and he said (Skylar): We're working on the issue, bla bla bla.
Well, fine.
Some days later, it shows 158 GB Free.... Problem solved.
Now, some days later, I see that the backups was taking DAYS to do, haha! It's true, DAYS! (It was NOT a2b2 problem.)
So, logged in by SSH to the backups server (took me 5 minutes to log in!), and it was
SUPER slow, reaaaaaaally slow, downloaded a backup (at 200 kb/s xD) which I needed, and logged out.
Tried to contact Skylar on MSN, but he then log out some time later. (without answer)
Heh, I thought: well, this is a temporary problem, etc etc.
3 Days passed, yesterday I opened a ticket regarding that problem:
Dear Crissic,
The backup server seems to have issue for some days already.
It's more than slow, it's super slow.
This has been all day... the backup service was great, but it seems that last week problems arrived.
uptime
3:40AM up 136 days, 18:31, 1 user, load averages: 4.25, 5.27, 5.45
--
$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da1s1d 1.9T 1.8T 168G 92% /
---
So, let's see, load is high and this is super super slow, and there are some GB's free for backups, but... can we really use it? I mean you guys should just put some more drives.
Please fix this instability issue, as this is causing my server to don't make the backups, which is really really serious.
Regards
----------
Note: it was opened as CRITICAL! 20 Hours without answer... what a poor service.
Every service providers know that backups ARE URGENTLY.
About some minutes ago, received an email regarding my ticket, saying that I didn't have any action, so the ticket was closed(automated ones), bla bla bla, I replied to it saying: No answer from crissic on a critical ticket, at backups service??? <- Only to keep the ticket opened.
And then, tried to contact Skylar on MSN, until he log out, 2 minutes later .
The server doesn't even answer anymore :
I know that I didn't gave him money, but our deal was 1 year of free 50gb backup, so I deserve respect and to be treated as a loyal client, I don't even should say FREE, because it was paid, in another way.
I have all my bills at a2b2 PAID (anyone from their staff can confirm), I DO NOT owe anything, all I want is to have a good service, I'm a honest guy.
From a2b2, everything is perfect, from Crissic, this is horrible. Really... I don't have money at this moment to buy another backup account.
This serves to prove you, that maybe Skylar is not a good person as you thought so.

Want to start my own RSYNC/FTP backup service... whats needed?
Besides the physical server and lots of GB's what software packages are needed, any tips on how to tie them together?
Do you create linux users, and then assign those users to an FTP account to a home folder?

i found the service for backup of SMTP:
If your mail server or network goes down, our backup SMTP can receive and store your incoming e-mail for up to 30 days. E-mail and ecommerce orders will keep coming, giving your IT staff time to repair the problem. Our standard service reattempts delivery every 15 minutes until your mail server is back online.
Seems that is good decision if you want to provide quality services for your cusutmers, but i want to know your opinion regarding this service or similar. did you use services like this , and can you share some experience for this?

I am trying to figure out how to do the following:
Say I have a URL like this: www.myreallylongsiteurl.com and I want it to automatically redirect to www.myRegularURL.com.
How would I go about doing this? Do I actually have to setup a whole new site in IIS and have a page there that just does a redirect or can I set up some sort of alias for this?
Also, my customer would like me to set it up so that myRegularURL.com redirects automatically to www.myRegularURL.com. they don't want to have to do the www in the url. Do I do this the same way as above?

I have searched for setting up automatic secondary DNS, but couldn't find anything, if I missed it, please post a link
I have 2 VPS's one running cPanel/WHM with about 15 low traffic sites on it. The other is a very slow spec VPS, hopefully just for DNS services.
I only have 1 domain server running currently, this is on the same server as the all the websites, what I want is a secondary DNS mirroring that of the DNS on my cPanel VPS, automaitically....
I was thinking of writting a little script to scp all the .db files in /var/named/ to my secondary server, then login to the secondary server and restart BIND?

The web host I use for personal web hosting (non-work-related) recently renewed my annual hosting package to my credit card automatically. The invoice was generated at around 11:45PM and I received an email reminder. By 12:03AM, I had been billed the full amount, before I even saw the 11:45PM reminder email.
Either from a client or provider standpoint, what is your take on automatic annual renewals? With or without advance warning?
In my case, it was billed to a card I no longer use, so I had to make a payment to that card that I would not have otherwise made. In other words, no serious harm done, but it was a hassle nonetheless.
I do not have a specific take either way on automatic annual renewals, so I am wondering what the community thinks.

I've been searching for a tool to automate website backups for me, that is to keep regular copies of files and databases in case of unexpected data loss. So far I found Site Vault that handles both FTP and MySQL backups at the same time. Does anyone know good alternatives to consider?

I have 2 different shared hosting accounts with 2 different hosts. On 1 hosting account I can install Wordpress plugins by clicking on the "install" link and everything is done, all I have to do is activate the plugin and I'm in business. On my other hosting account I signed up for yesterday, when I try to install a plugin I'm taken to a "Connection Information" screen. It says, "To perform the requested action, connection information is required" and there's a box for the hostname, username, password, and connection type (FTP or FTPS).
I also noticed that when I search for a plugin, the rating stars are all white (no yellow) on the hosting account that asks for the FTP info.
Both of these accounts were installed with Fantastico. Any ideas why my new hosting account acts this way?

I've been pondering something for a long time here, but never really knew the right question to ask, or how to word it... so I never even know what to search for. So I honestly have no idea what I'm asking or if this is even under the right topic. What I'm looking for is answers, links, tutorials, or just some words I can search for to help me do the following:
I have a MySQL database filled with accounts. People have to pay to get these accounts. All the accounts are set to expire on different days. I need to send an e-mail out to accounts, for example, to let them know they're expiring, say, a month before this will occur. Right now the only way I know to do this is to have MySQL queries on a PHP page that, every time the page is loaded, runs through all the accounts, checks their expirations, and sends emails to those that need it. I know there has to be a way to have this happen automatically without having to load a PHP page every day, for example.

Is automatic renewal of a colocation contract for a full year enforceable? I've been with a place for over two years, never got a notice that my contract was being renewed, never got a special price for renewing for an entire year, but as I see now, I'm going to be challenged to pay 100% of the remaining months of a contract I thought I was paying by the month after the end of the first year.
In real estate, most tenants have to sign something that renews their contract for a year, I thought. If I had received notice of renewal at the end of the contract periods, I supposed I would have been more aware that the lease was for a full year each time.
I had no idea that this was standard and, of course, no idea this renewal was buried on page 6 of a 15 page contract. This starts to resemble a health club contract from hell.
Oh, and I just love the early termination fee. It consists of the remainder of the months' lease fees. Like as if I still had the server connected.

I have a virtual dedicated server which i currently host a couple of clients websites on, the control panel i am using is Simple Control Panel.
What i would like is an automated program or script that automatically sets up a users FTP access and creates a directory with a mysql database - I also require it to bill the customer on a monthly basis and if no payment is received from the customer the account then goes offline (but is not deleted)
how i can set this up and what is the best thing to use.

I have a friend who uses Wordpress 2.7 on his website which is hosted with Supanames.
The auto-upgrade and WPAU Auto Upgrade scripts do not work!
Both ask for FTP details, but both fail...
Anyone else on SN sorted had this or sorted it out?
