Windows Server Online Backup Provider
Due to some recent negative experiences, one of my customers had to cancel their account with IBackup.com's Pro services. It had provided exceptional reliability and did Windows backup of the System State, Exchange Server, SQL, and provided file versions going 30 back. But I couldn't get anywhere with technical support for 2 weeks on why it would freeze during the backups. The final straw came when I installed it to a brand new server and had the same issues. I'm looking for a suggestion on a provider that does at least file-level backups and Exchange backups. I've looked around online, read reviews, but it doesn't look like the providers do Exchange backup. I don't need mailbox-level backup, just brick-level for disaster recovery. File versions going back (in case a user makes a mistake and wants to restore an old copy) would be nice, but not required.

Any Good Backup Software For Windows Server 2003
Any good backup software that can do the following. 1) Backup whole system image. 2) Backup regular selected files folders. It must be able to do auto-rsync to another server that is located in another data center. I do note that alot of the software out there can do the backup to local drives, or server located within the network but not external network. If anyone know of any software that is capable of doing the following, do post here.

Encrypted Backup From Windows To FTP/SFTP
Most of my background is the Linux/Mac world, but I do have ample Windows skill set, just not as refined or aware of all the available applications in Windows world, geared toward Joe User. My accountant needs to run two sets of backups. First, he wants to backup his documents to an offsite location (space on his web hosting service) and he wants them to be encrypted on the web hosting server, which is understandable and recommended. Short of installing TrueCrypt and using Filezilla with a manual process , is there any free or low-cost (but well supported) that would automatically upload revised documents and data files in encrypted form? This would not be very much data, just simple documents and accounting data files. Secondly, he wants to have a "snapshot" of his HD to a USB portable drive (standard 2.5 HD). On Linux, I'd recommend Rsync, on Mac, Rsync or SuperDuper (and others), but on Windows, any recommendations? I see Unison, etc. I would just want it to update any files that have changed to make subsequent backups run much faster, such as only 15-18 minutes (depending on amount of data changed) and make the drive bootable, so in the event he looses his HD in his laptop, he could boot from the USB portable drive and be back up and running. While I know I could easily figure out all this on a more manual basis, looking for things that would be friendly for Joe User to use and/or be something that can be setup and would run pretty much on it's own, assuming the backup drive was connected or system was on the Internet to upload the files, etc.

Looking For Backup Solution For Windows XP/Vista Platform Client
I'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?

Windows 2008 Versus Windows 2003 Server
With Windows 2003 server, there are comprehensive lists of what you need to do to secure the server before use. For Windows 2008, I wonder is there such a list? Or is it true as what I heard from Microsoft that it is already secured out of the box? Anyone has any resources on the hardening or preparation of 2008 for server hosting uses?

Windows Xp Rather Than Windows Server 2003?
Is there hosting that use windows xp rather than windows server 2003? What is the advantage of using windows server2003 anyway? Most of the time I just need to run some programs that need huge bandwidth. If I want to host sites, I'll just use xamp. I think windows xp license is cheaper.

Using Domain Name Server (DNS) And A Backup Server
I currently have two VPS servers, each with 2 DNS names running on them as follows: dns1.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns2.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns3.mydomain.com (on Server B) dns4.mydomain.com (on Server B) I have websites running on each server and I would like to have something set-up so that when one server goes down, the other server displays a nice page saying the website is unavailable currently and will be back shortly - you know, something nicer then the normal "Server Not Found" default messages. What is the best way to do this? If I have CLIENTDOMAIN.COM and put them on Server A and they use all 4 DNS server names, will the top two DNS names always be used by people finding the website, and the bottom two choices only be used if the top two can't be found? I believe I have to create an account on Server B for them as well, just only placing the temporary page within the account, rather then a whole copy of their website. Correct?

New Server Without OS (Remote FTP Backup Server)
I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel. The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn.. 1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server. - Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too. - I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide? 2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside. /sda/server1/ /sda/server2/ /sdb/server3/ /sdb/server4/ /sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server) /sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server) Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.

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

Backup Server
I'm looking for a dedicated machine that will be used solely for rsync backups. (I don't want to use a shared rsync solution) Requirements are simple, at least 1TB HD and < $99 a month. Should have a decent amount of RAM and processor, but other than that, I would think any reputable provider would do. Most places I find a suitable server for $49 and then see it's another $50/mo. to upgrade to a 1TB hard drive. Hard to believe the markup for these larger drives considering they go for, what $89 now?

Server Backup Methodology
How do you handle the backups on your server? I just got a new dedicated server and our server does automatic backups, but I think it only saves to the existing hard drive. How frequently do you back up? I think the standard is every Sunday or Sunday/Wed depending on your traffic load. Where do you put your backups? A remote FTP server? A second hard drive?

Cheap Backup Server
Any recommendations for a cheap backup server? Budget less than $50. Either a 500GB or 1TB drive. Don't recommend those backup services like BQ. I can get a whole server for cheaper than their prices. The only one I've come across is this Atom: [url]

VPS As A Backup Server
i'm running trixbox on vmware on my home vista (because i need the media center) box.. perfecto.. Anyway, i'm thinking about setting up a virtual box just as a backup server (ns3.xxxx.com?) for times like now when my server decides to fall out of the sky and nobody at dedicated now feels like responding. I'll try not to bring that issue to the forum but point is, has anybody ever used a VPS as a backup server? it sounds pretty simple actually if i could get one right now i'm game since without their e-mail my clients are helpless and they are blowing up my phone as i type. Other question is regarding e-mails (the primary concern), many of these guys (my clients) still love squirl mail, how can i keep the boxes on either server synced? so when one is down the other 'continues'?

Backup Server, Connecting
I got my backup server yesterday. It's connected to the second NIC on my main server, where I have all of my domains/accounts. The server provider gave me a password and a ip address to the backup server, 192.168.x.x I have tried to log in to the backup server with ssh and ftp from my main server. Nothing happens, I can't connect. Am I doing something wrong? I thought it just was to log in to my main server, and then ssh or ftp to the backup server.

Specs For A Backup MX Server
setting up a Backup MX server for my domains and I was wondering what sort of a spec'd server I'd need for around 20-40 domains. The 20-40 domains aren't hosted on the same network/server so it would be unlikely for all of them do go down at once...but at the same time I dont want any emails to go missing.

Offsite Backup Server
running my own servers but i have been hosting websites for a years now using a dedi server in the USA through c-Panel, now i am looking to offer my clients offsite backup to a local server at my end, offering small to large packages of bandwidth and storage. Anyway i have all that sorted the thing is i had a webpage developer create the pages for me and configure it to my ip address (as im not using a domain name for this server) the problem im having is hosting these pages on my centOS 5 server setting up apache, ftp, etc. i require a username and password for each of my clients and when they log in they will be displayed with there file inventory including the files they have uploaded, where that is the other problem i am having creating username and passwords for each of my clients what would be the best software that could do this? remember these backups are via ftp and a web based interface for files up to 500mb but to use a ftp program i will still need to create a username and password for each of my clients

Backup On Cpanel Server - How And Why
How should I go about the backup of my cpanel server. I have 2x 250gigs drive in raid 1 + 1x 250gigs hd mounted as /backup I also need offsite backup. Im reading, and im a bit confuse how I should approach this backup thing. Here are a few of my questions: 1) Should I use the built in cpanel backup or a different script? 2) With offsite backup, rsync seems to be the way to go? 3) If I have a 250gigs drive as /home, it seems that my /backup drive needs to be way larger to accept daily / weekly / monthly backup? 4) Is offsite also needs daily /weekly / monthly backup?

Exchange Server Backup
We are currently using Veritas BackupExec to backup our in-house Exchange Server. However, we ALWAYS get some type of error when using this program, whether its the "Advanced Open File" piece of the program, or just what it calls a "corrupt email," I'm fed up with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a sub-$100 program that can backup everything Exchange (database, emails, etc.) and has open file protection (for backing up system files, etc.)?

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire Server
The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration. How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data? More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

Best Backup Solution (Cpanel Server)?
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.

Why Is RAID 1, Just Use A Backup System/server
I haven't yet broken into the realms of dedicateds, although I have a decent VPS and am anticipating the need to get a dedi in the future. Hence I'm wondering briefly why exactly RAID (insert some random number?) is recommended? I know it does something to do preventing hard drive failure, although would an efficient backup system be a decent alternative with regards to cost?
