We have backups running via WHM to a FTP server - where I see we can set daily, weekly, monthly - but can we specify what time during the day the backups are being done so it won't interfere with other heavy server load tasks?
Looking at the emails I get when the backup is complete, it seems like it's doing it at all sorts of random times.
way to change the priority at which the backup is being run?
We run CentOS for our web servers (not providing hosting) and manually compile Apache, PHP etc. What would be the benefits to using Yum rather than compiling the software ourselves?
The way I see it, Yum allows Apache etc to automatically update to latest versions and saves time. When compiling myself though, I can specify exactly where to install to and which modules etc to install with the software. Is there any reason we should be using Yum instead?
I'm trying to setting plesk backups to own ftp server.. My ftp server is listening by the port 31..
My conf:
Server: mydomain:31
Directory: vpsbkp
User and password...
Passive mode checked
Here the error display: "Transport error: unable to list directory: Curl error: Couldn't connect to server"
Where are the bkp ftp logs?
recomend me a good Rsync software with schedule to backup some sites automaticaly?
I want rsync 100% for lower bandwidth.
We have a Cron executed program which runs at certain times of the day.
I need to changes these times.
How do I do this?
To be exact the program that is executed is called daily_charges.jsp
And I have looked under
etc/cron.daily
and I see no call to this program
FYI looking under etc/crontab I see this:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
which obviously is the default Linux included Crontab file so this file cannot be the one that runs the daily crons.
how can I find where is the Cron code that daily runs the program:
daily_charges.jsp
how to set cron jobs in window....

In WHM I set my backups to go to the / directory in a flder called backup. This filled up rather quick and that partiton is now full!
I was going to change the location to /home as i have over 400GB of space here but it says: Setting this to /home is a very bad idea.)
How many would you guys recommend me? Currently I make backups on my own server and one at offsite. And what's the diffrence making backups trough ssh ot ftp? Because right now I work with ftp because I don't understand ssh.

I've got a VPS with SLHost and have setup a remote backup account with RVPalace
The VPS is running WHM/Cpanel
I'm running a fairly busy forum and host a few friends sites on the server to. (CMS systems etc)
What's the best way to go about backing up the data to this remote host?
Would you say WHM's backup system is sufficient?
I don't feel comfortable with one backup every 24 hours, so i'm wondering if there's anyway to reduce that to every 6 hours?
Or would you guys recommend RSync instead?
I do have a question regarding RSync...something that worries me
If it's set to backup the sites every 6 hours and only backs up when something changes (Files/databases)
If, god forbid, a site gets hacked, but isn't noticed and Rsync kicks in and backs up the hacked site, there'd be no way to go back to a previous backup, would there?
what I want to do is a backup every night of the files on my servers from the Data Centre to a server in our local office. What would be the best program to do this?

I know I can get really cheap storage from Amazon or Mosso, but is there a way to automate this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFTP backups, doing RSYNC what is needed?
I have a linux box with pure-ftpd as FTP backup server. However, we want to explore/expand to RSYNC now.
Is there a package that allows RSYNC to be used for FTP users?
This is basically like what do FTP services like BQbackup use to allow RSYNC, etc.
I have dedicated server and I have daily,weekly and monthly backups located in:
root: /backup/cpbackup (my secondary drive)
each account's backup locate in specific directory like:
the backup of account website1.com will be located in:
root: /backup/cpbackup/website1
all backups are not compressed file
So, How can I restore one or more backup?
any one know where Plesk stores all the backups on a vps
I want to download all these using automated FTP
how to restore an account from backups as my WHM backs up to an external server via FTP and I dont have a clue how to restore.
View 7 Replies View Relatedif anyone knows about cheaper and reliable colocation services in East/ Central. I don’t need premium bandwidth (Internap, Level 3, etc). I need to colocate ½ rack to host my Backups, Bandwidth needed is 5 MB since I use Rsync at different hours, so I don’t need to push more than that.
I try to look for colocation services here in Colorado, but all companies quote me $50 to $70 for each server and $130 per MB.
Check this out... I was just diggin around in my Dreamhost panel and discovered something new that I've not even seen announced anywhere... Dreamhost is giving a BACKUPS user on each account, totally separately from the web user. You are allowed... well, I'll just copy / paste straight from the panel:
At DreamHost, you may only keep website-related content on your regular users. You do, however, get one user per account where anything legal may be stored; your Backups User.
This user cannot have any websites pointed to it, nor may you share files via it... it is only to be used as an off-site backup for your personal files.
As such, we keep no backups of files on this account. These are already supposed to be your backups... not your only copy!
(Of course, you should always keep your own copies of all data stored with us.. we make no guarantees!)
Every full DreamHost Hosting plan includes 50GB of backups space!
(Additional usage will be charged at the rate of 10 cents / GB a month: the best backup deal on the net!)
Pretty interesting... they didn't HAVE to do that, it's just another one of those things that they give in order to be even MORE awesome, evidently.
Rsync seems to be popular as a backup solution, so I thought I give it a look myself. However, after looking for a while I think it is lacking in either (1) usability or (2) security for backups.
Lets use a backup of /home for example:
(1) To make the transfer secure I'd use rsync over ssh. Backup works great - untill you have to restore. Restore works only partially, because all the files now have the user/group id of the user on the backup server (even if the restore is run as root). You'd have to chown all the individual users dirs, permission files....error prone and a lot of manual work --> not good.
(2) Running rsync in daemon mode on the remote server preserves uid/gid and permissions. Restoring works like a charm when run as root. But, hey, now every 13 year old with some knowledge and a packet sniffer can write down your data unencrypted. They just need to look for -lets say- db-info in php files etc and suddenly have access to your customer base or whatever you store.... Even worse if you transfer db dumps or other sensitive data. So it is not safe to use --> not good.
Is there a way to secure the transfer or keep uid/gid info intact?
And how do all the backup providers handle the issue? (This one here claims rsync is secure.)
Or is there another way to fix the problem - restoring uid/gid and secure transfer for backups.

We all know about backups, and compressing files, etc etc... so, what do you guys do in this situation?
I have a quad core, 4gb ram, 250gb disk, when I run cpanel backups to my remote server, the server loads go up to 3.
Is there any way I can control this and lets say... dont let it go bellow 2?
Improved Backup Performance — Speed is safe.
cPanel’s backup facilities in 11.24 have seen significant speed increases. In previous versions, load averages while backups were running could be as high as 3. With our reworked and enhanced backup system, load averages tend to stay around 1.2 when backups run on servers with many accounts. This is an extremely substantial performance increase that you and your customers will notice right away. With our new backup system, there is no reason not to keep your data safe."
