Backup Server To Your Local PC
I am really thinking of upgrade my dedi server, but since its from a IDE disk to a SATA, I can´t move the IDE to the new system.
Is there a way to backup the server disk to your
local computer? FTP ?

Remote Backup Or Local Backup
I would like to weight the benefits and costs of using remote backup and local backup to another hardisk? Let's assume the price is the same. What's the benefits of using remote backup? Is it secured to use local backup in another hardisk? I'm running on linux centos. What happend if hacker get hold of my server? Currently, i have 80GB of diskspace. Does it mean i will need at least 80GB of ANOTHER hardisk to backup that?

Local To Live...sql Server
I have been working on an online shop locally from my machine, using Visual Web Developer and SQL server. This is working fine, but now its at the stage were i need to show a client. In order to do this i need to upload it to our servers. What i cant get my head round is the connection to the sql server, do i need to upload this too, or can i somehow point the connection string to the sql server sitting on my local machine... Is it easier just to upload an sql server? how would i go about this?

Local Mysql Server Name, IP Or Localhost
I am using localhost as mysql server name on my config file. then, when I enter [url], the address will automatically change to[url]that obviously getting error. when I change the mysql server name from localhost to the server public IP, everything seems ok. My sql is 4.1.x with php 4.4.7, is that any way I may use localhost instead of IP? or is there any potential danger using IP?

Different Local Remote Server Types
I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one! I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage). This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing. I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same. Am I right to go ahead and not worry about this?

Can't Access My Local Web Server By Its External IP
I have a local web server that I want to make available outside of my local network of two computers. I configured NAT at my router, configured the firewall. I Typed the external IP and got nothing, while I still was able to access my web server by typing "localhost", I tried both IIS and Apache, but what is interesting is that fact that the other people can access my web server via that external IP, I just cannot access it from my local network.

Unable To Connect To Local Httpd Server.
When i go to my website or any page under the domain it's just white. Blank nothing, nada. "Failed to receive status information from Apache. Unable to connect to local httpd server." This error message appears when i click on "apache status". Is this because of the network issue? Or is it because of something I did myself? I did a google search and came up on some solution, I did them and nothing.

Connecting To Local Server With Virtual Machines
How do you go about setting up virtual machines so that they can see sites hosted on the host machine? I've got Virtual PC 2007 and the disk image that MS supply for testing IE6 on Vista machines and I'm having trouble accessing my local Apache server (set up with XAMPP). Until recently I was able to set the XP VM's LAN settings to use a proxy server with the IP address of the host machine, but I got migrated to ADSL2+ yesterday by my ISP and now that's no longer working. To access my sites locally, I set up httpd.conf like this: PHP Code: <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "C:PathToFolder" ServerName siteName.local</VirtualHost><Directory "C:PathToFolder"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all</Directory> and then in Windows hosts file I add 127.0.0.1 siteName.local. So what's the best way of getting the host and VMs to talk to each other?

Updating Access Databases On Local Web Server
I am using Windows XP Pro, and since I updated to Internet Explorer 7 I am having problems getting web sites to work on my PC in Internet Explorer using the local IIS web server. These web sites are using ASP and Access databases. The two errors I get are: Operation must use an updateable query. or Cannot modify the design of table 'TABLE_NAME'. It is in a read-only database. (they are not read only!) Does anyone know how I can get this working so I can test my web sites locally before uploading them to the live sites?

"Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server" + "IPS Driver Error"
During peak times (especially weekends) many of my site's users have been reporting intermittent 'IPS Driver Errors' in the forums and the following error in the coppermine gallery: Quote: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (11) (The forums and the gallery are the main parts of the site). I'm assuming that the site is having problems handling the number of users trying to connect to SQL. I tried increasing the max_connections and max_user_connections settings in my.cnf but it doesn't seem to have made a significant difference. What do I need to do to fix this? Would I need to upgrade my server specs or is it something to do with the server settings? my server specs: AMD Dual/Dual Opteron 270 with 4GB RAM.

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

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.

Remote Backup Solution For Server
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.

How can I do this in DNS options? Also Can you suggest an easy way to do realtime backup from the server at Location 1 to Location 2 so that any changes made on Location 1 are cloned on Location 2?

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?

CPanel Server Backup Drive
After adding a second drive mounted as /home2 for backups I attempted to use the cPanel "Configure Backup" and I get the following message. Quotas cannot be built! Your cpbackup destination is on a filesystem which has quotas enabled. Please move it to a filesystem which does not have quotas turned on or a separate partition/disk slice mounted at /backup.Backup has been disabled to prevent quota problems... All searches on how to resolve this really reveal no solutions. I did a google search on "disable filesystem quota" among others and could find nothing.
