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)
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.
I have vbulletin forum and I want backup it automatic on aonther server
let say I want the opration of backup every 4 hour how I do that?
I have been reading about Amazon S3's service at [url] and I was wondering if it would be wise to use their service for a file host (like rapidshare..) I may be starting?
How good is their bandwidth and what is their policy on copyrighted material?
Or should I buy my own servers from an unmetered provider, such as alphared?
I'm building a kind of a file sharing site also with video conversions ( convert a full DVD to flash and stream) and if i can find more ideas, even more features. It won't be free (i'm not sure which way to go though, subscription-based or pay per bandwidth + storage) and it will support download managers. I'm not sure which way to go : Joyent or dedicated servers with RAIDs. If i distribute files over servers, and a users wants the files to be converted to flv etc., it will increase the server load, ( and if i put a lot of users in 1 server it will increase the load even more) so it won't be very good.
So i thought SAN for this, but couldn't find any hosts serving it ( especially for a reasonable price ). Joyent is close enough (Amazon S3 is very very expensive), but although bandwidth and storage prices seem good, server power is low ( and very expensive if higher ) Which way should i go?
Automatic Parallels Plesk. 12.0.18 has stopped working but no solution from plesk yet? I think every user has the same problem. Many people asked the same question but no solution/answer from plesk.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI'm currently running on a VPS. My site allows for large file uploads and downloads, with files over 600mb in size.
The server has issues when the site gets three or more requests for large file downloads. I'm trying to grow this site to thousands of users and it is hard to do when the site can't handle even three.
I've been told by my host that I need to upgrade to dedicated. My VPS only has 512mb RAM and one large file download is eating up that RAM. This is causing the issue.
I'm a newbie and while I knew I was risking a bit by going with VPS I do find it a bit annoying that these guys advertise 1TB of bandwidth per month but I can't even support downloading 1GB at the same time....maybe it's just me...
Anyway, I am now looking into moving the large files and the upload/download over to Amazon S3. If I do this I am expecting my RAM usage on the VPS to greatly decrease. Is this correct? If my PHP code is running on the VPS, but the actual file download via HTTP is coming from S3, that should not be a heavy load on my box, correct?
any opinions on S3?
Ii got the following error during automatic Backup:
Unable to rotate dump: The dump rotation is failed with code '1' at /opt/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager line 1041.
I used Plesk Version 12.0.18. The Backup is created, but i following this error Message.
My basic VPS backup plan is to have WHM create a backup for me, save it somewhere on my local VPS, and then rsync it off site.
As a beginner with linux, I'm not sure where to have WHM put this file. Is there a recommended place to place this backup file -- it will only be there temporarilly, but I don't know a secure place to put it.
e.g. /home or should I create a new directory called /backups? (and if so -- once again, where in the directory tree do I put it?)
I currently do daily backups to rsyncpalace Daily, weekly, monthly. cPanel does a backup of all user accounts to a folder and they are rsync'd offsite via ssh.
My questions are: Should I be comfortable or concerned that all of my website(s)' data are neatly bundled, stored in plaintext (tar) formats and only protected by a single login and password?
Am I exposed to any more or less risk of tampering with my data than on my webserver itself?
I'm thinking about moving an account with one main domain and a bunch of addons from one cpanel host to another, using a whole site backup .tar.gz file. SSH does not appear to be an option at this point.
I just extracted the tar.gz to a local pc to get a look at what's in it. It has these 12 folders: bandwidth, cp, cron, dnszones, logs, meta, mysql, resellerconfig, userdata, va, vad, vf. Below these folders are also 14 unfoldered files, ranging from "addons" to "version."
So, will this work?
1. Does this mean the domains and all the addons will be set up with their original user names, passwords, and email accounts with all the same passwords, if I move everything to the right location? Will all the email accounts I've set up in my email client software work just as they do now with the current host?
2. How can I know where all these uploaded folders and files have to be moved once they're there?
3. Can I just upload the extracted contents to one location, or do I have to upload the unextracted tar.gz to a server, extract there, then move the contents wherever they need to be moved (but I don't know where things need to be moved now)?
I have created a Cpanel full backup of my website. The file is 2.65GB in size, but when I log in with my FTP client, I get a LISTERROR - [filename] and the filename doesn't appear in the directory window.
Can I still use a custom command to download this file?
I have a backup file at my old server like:
[url]
What is the command line I have to give to get this file by wget to my new server?
Please keep in mind that I have to give my old server user/password in this command line.
Is it possible to export the MYSQL DB from an Hypervm backup file?
If possible,how to?
As I fail several times to restore it in Hypervm.
How I can import my backups from remote backup space to my VPS.
