If an email server needs taking offline for a while, is there a simple solution that can be put in place that can catch and temporarily hold the email until it can be released when the server is back online?

Currently I use rsync and I am thinking to use R1Soft CDP
Its worth what is your oppinion?
We now have a WHM Vps and also a Dedicated for reselling VPS both located in the UK. At the moment our WHM Vps backs up to an 'Unlimited shared hosting package' but we're sure we're going to be kicked off sooner or later because were using about 50GB storage. We were wondring what everyone else uses to backup? Another disk attached to the server?
Offsite? And how you deal with the extra bandwidth a backup would use.
We now need a solution that can backup our new VPS server and our WHM server. It needs to be in the UK/EU to comply with data protection.
Could anyone give me any recommendations on a new backup solution?
The one that I have been using didn't work the past few times, and that is starting to bother me.
I've looked into CDP, although I do not necessarily have the budget for that.
I'm just looking for an easy way to do daily and weekly backups with
I almost signed up for the crissic backup service, but I waited because I saw some complaints.
I definitely remember somewhere around here--someone posted that crissic was reselling this backup solution.
Does anyone know what this website? Or Can someone post a similar website?
I really want an offsite backup source, But I really can't afford to pay an extra $60-$80/month for a VPS with the actual datastorage I'll require.

I am looking for a backup solution that is off our server that we can add into cpanel/whm for our clients to use and us.
We currently have a VPS that backs up daily, but I am interested in running a script
where my work computer will download these backups for additional backup security. Would prefer something automated.
how you have done this. I am using Cpanel.
what backup solution you all use. We plan on starting to use a backup solution but was wondering what the best one is. R1Soft seems to be pretty popular and I was wondering where all of you guys get your licenses from them. Also if anyone knows how much does a license for 1 backup server and 2 agent servers cost. I see it is like $500.00 at R1Soft directly but is that the only way to get it. Also is R1Soft very good? Please rate it 1 -10 in your reply.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am about to order a VPS for some backup solutions for my websites, to save my backups etc.
Now, how should I do it ? Let's say one of my main sites are down (server is having a maintenance or the server went down for some unknown reasons, apache crashed, w/e), how should I do it ? I read something about name servers, but I am totally new to this stuff, as I've never dealt with it before.
And no, I do not want any management, it's just a testing box so I can learn it myself.
Anyone got any hints on what to do ? Pref. is if you can give me some links to so some sort of guide(s).
Example: I have 1 server for hosting, 1 server as Dedicated Backup server
(Pls don't recommend me outsourced backup server as I already got one)
I am looking for a solution which I am able to do daily backup while keeping low server load as well as able to restore it quickly when I need it. It's a cpanel servers.
I understand that CPanel own backup method will tar my files (but I have too many accounts) and it also takes a lot of my server CPU resources which slows down my hosting server.
I am now using rsync which does incremental backup that really works and I am happy about it but I paid $55 per month for 1 cpanel servers as I oursourced the rsync installation & server management backup. I have few servers and I don't find it cost effective.
Anyone here can suggest different kind of method which I have not known yet? Or I would really appreciate if someone do not mind to share installation procedure for rsync with me. I tried to google for it and find them all very shallow information. This is not a try-and-error.
backup service for my dedicated server that can do the following:
Take backups of the server without my laptop being involved when the backup takes place.
(So I can take a vacation for two weeks and have my laptop turned off - while backups still taking place).
Strangely I have found it impossible to find such a service ... All services I have looked at require my laptop is turned on and running some software while backup of server is takeing place.
Where can I find a company that sells backup service for Windows Servers?

I know I can use rsync but i'm confused at how to do this exactly.
Backup to remote server every other day.
Only do incremental backups.
Backup cpanel accounts
how other people with large subscribers’ database (over 500K subscribers) manage their e-mail marketing needs.
We do have a number of different everyday newsletters and occasionally send surveys to customers (once in a couple of months). I do like the functionality and features that different e-mail marketing providers offer with their packages like Constant Contact, Icontact, etc.
However, considering the number of subscribers their services cost too high in our situation. Maybe there is a standalone software product which we can license and install to our servers and manage in house instead of buying a hosted application?
Quick update: I just found [url]. Does anyone has any experience working with them?
Can any one recommend a good email hosting solution a bit like hivemail.com as after searching on google it looks like they have died. I did like the features of hivemail so if there is anything similar then please recommend I will continue my search and let you know what I have found ifI find anything.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI'd like to ask for opinion what is the best way to backup a client PC in Windows XP/Vista platform.
For example, each PC has a folder inside c:Server
Every 17:00 hours, the PC will FTP all data inside c:Server to backup server.
When it is done, the manager is able to access to his files & do his work remotely online via the server at night in his home. Another reason to have this backup is because they want to secure all the files from any viruses or any accidents in the office during non office hours as the files is important to them. The next morning, he is able to continue his work as normal when files are being merged.
Any kind of such solution available?
I've recently put together a server in a hurry and overlooked an important aspect - data integrity after power loss. I'm using Linux software RAID-1 with two 150GB WD Raptors but I'm worried that data could be lost due to having write-back cache enabled without a battery backup unit. I would rather not disable the write-back cache for performance reasons.
What is the cheapest way to get a battery backup solution for Linux software RAID? Do I have to use a hardware RAID card or do standalone battery backup units exist that can use existing motherboard SATA ports?
Can anyone suggest a solution for one of my clients.
Their email is very important to them and is their main point of contact.
Their old account (shared hosting) got suspended a few times due to going over their hourly limit.
I have now put them on a new account on my VPS. Unfortunately the ip was blacklisted in the first week and they are getting about 25% of mail bounce backs due to being rejected. They also experienced a few hours of downtime while the nameservers propagated, so all in all they're not very happy.
I would like to offer them the following:
incoming back - if their server/mail goes down, mail either gets stored or re-routed to an alternative address
outgoing mail - if their server/mail goes down, they have an alternative way of sending email from their domain
outgoing mail - if their ip address gets blacklisted again, an alternative way of sending email from their domain until the issue is fixed.
I currently have a VPS server that runs Cpanel with all my websites and clients websites. My question is is it possible for to set up if the primary server goes down that emails will go to another server and still get delivered. Would I set the secondary server to ns3. and ns4.?

Its been a while since I have posted on here, anyway heres my problem.
I have a cPanel server in my office which handles the email for 2 domains.
I've also got a reseller account on a helm server.
What I want to do is: if I have a problem with the office server (outage) all emails will be routed to the helm server then delivered back to the office server once available. So any incoming email wont be bounced/lost.
I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn't work as smooth as before. I gives some strange erros and sometimes it justs hangs up... I want to backup Outlook Express emails and settings before reinstall, and restore afterwards.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSeems if I want to back up a domain's emails to a remote server (3x a week) I might be able to accomplish that with a Scheduled Task / Cronjob? I have a weekly full domain backup from the Plesk scheduled backup. But I can only set one backup per client. So I'd like to backup email separately, several times a week.
I found this:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskbackup –domains-name yourdomain.com –only-mail -v
But I'm looking to send to a remote FTP repository. Can it be done with "Scheduled Task"?
I moved from a host to another and wanted to restore/use the email adresses that are already saved on my old host account.
I did a full backup by using Cpanel's wizard and saved it on my computer. Extracted everything and then by using FTP I have put all the files on my new server which is using Cpanel as well.
Although all email adresses are now visible in my Cpanel the old passwords will not work anymore......
