Backup VPS Hosting ..

Backup VPS hosting

I'd like feedback on the following.
I've recently come into a pile of older DB servers and my first thoughts were: these would make awesome multiple backup systems.

I'm thinking for some quantity of moneys (say $60/m), a client could rent an entire older machine running ESXi or Xen and host live backups of several VPS accounts. In the event of a failure, the backup could either be replicated to a new primary VPS account, or the domains could be pointed to the backup VM while the primary VPS is inoperable.
Most (all?) of the potential machines are:

4x Xeon 700MHz
8GB RAM
2x 18GB SCSI (RAID1) -- several TB of NFS are available nearby
Some bandwidth (say 0.5MB/s??)

Running either ESX(i) or VMware Server, I've been able to comfortably fit 1/2 dozen to 1 dozen mostly idle VMs. Obviously they'd be a little slow for primarily hosting a full set of live VPS accounts, but I think for backup, testing, or development they'd be a good blend of low cost with capacity.

With regard to the yesteryear CPUs, consider you have (effectively) a full 2.4GHz at your beck and call compared to (who knows how much) of a slice of a more modern CPU with most VPS systems.

So, thoughts? Am I crazy? Sound interesting? Should these be sent off and turned to molten metal+plastic? Obviously there's no technical reason they couldn't be installed w/ some generic Linux distro instead.

I'm not trying to sell/rent these, they're still sitting on pallets awaiting their fate, just soliciting feedback.

Nameservers And Backup Hosting Account

Aug 6, 2005

I'm trying to understand how nameservers work. Here is what I would like to do. I'd like to have one nameserver point to my main hosting account and the second one point to another hosting account that I will call my back up host. Is that a proper use of the two nameservers or is that not a good idea for some reason?

Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Download Backup To Local Computer From Backup Manager

May 17, 2015

I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).

The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/

When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Backup And Quota - Limit Number Of Cores Backup Zipping Tool Uses?

Aug 15, 2014

I have 2 problems:

Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.

Secondly I get the following in my syslog:

1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler

I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: How To Include More Directories In Backup With Backup Manager

Feb 11, 2015

I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).

The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.

I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.

I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).

Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?

2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?

Rsyn --backup --backup-dir Switches For Incremental Backs

Jan 26, 2007

I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day

rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/

What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server
/home/user/something.tuesday
/home/user/something.friday

I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that?

I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck

rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/

[cpbackup] Backup Failed! /backup Is Not Mounted!

Dec 16, 2008

my cpanel doesn't get backups. When I force it, it gives me this error:

mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /bekkaplars is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 415.

It's a vps. Another interesting thing is, my other 3 vpses run good even /etc/fstab has no line like /backup in there, also.

Hosting Review Site Or Top 3 Hosting Co. For Shared Hosting

Apr 23, 2009

I'm trying to find at least three web hosting companies to choose from to host a Joomla websites on a shared server. Would consider dedicated if the deal was right. I have a friend of mine who wants to create a church website, and is looking for the best deal. I use Netfirms which I have never had an issue with, but I didn't want to be bias, and would like give him other options to choose from.

Is there a good WebHosting Review site, I could check out, or maybe someone could recommend their top three. I reading threw the forums here and I noticed there are not that many complaints with Hostgator. Again, I just want to see if there was anything out there better.
