i own a dedicated server with centos and cpanel. i am afraid that one day if server crashes and my cpanel backup files would be gone.
I just want to store cpanel backup files safely somewhere online. how to do it?
What type of servers would you recommend us to use and what software also should we use.
Am not sure about the software part.
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.
Does someone know some cheap online backup sites for my server? I have a 1600gb dedicated server and I can only pay trough paypal.

Has anyone tried any online backup services which gives mobile access also. I have been thinking about trying one. But I'm not sure if any are better than others. My main concern is security.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server and I was wondering if there is a fast/easy/uncomplicated way to perform a full backup of all the accounts and its database?
It is based on linux, mysql and php platform.
I have a managed dedicated server at a co-location. While the service I pay for runs the Cpanel backup function, I feel I need to provide a better service to my customers by creating an exact duplicate(image) of the drive itself. I don’t want my customers to lose their databases and web site information.
I need help with creating a Plan B. The plan I thought might work, would be to get a workstation, download Acronis and make an image of my dedicated server on a scheduled basis.
The reasons I thought this was a good idea:
1) I would have the image in my hands(my control), should something happen to my main hosting server.
2) It would create a complete off-site back-up.
3) It seemed cost effective.
What if Scenario:
So my main hosting server gets taken away in a hurricane and the data center will not be up and running for 3 months. I have an image of the hard disk, now what do I do with it?
is there any service out there where they will burn all data off a dedicated server and send it to you via DVD, Blue Ray or HDD? And mail it to you.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently run a business that has 125 to 150 domains, with 150GB worth of files and databases.
Right now my business is hosted on Hostgator. The files and database are not 100% protected if a hard drive crashes. I Found www.mosso.com and they take all my hosting problems of 100% uptime and backups away, but they also create a few because I don't get command line access to a server.
We use GIT to manage the upgrade and development process of the application, so we need command line access.
My question to you is:
How do you handle this backup issue?
If I can take my focus off of making sure there is 100% uptime and backups if something crashes automatically, I can grow my business much faster.
I had been brought to my attention on how it would be possible to do a Back up on: E-mail Accounts, with login information,filter settings, Authentications, and so.
For Smart Mailer Dedicated Servers.
Would there be any proper way of getting a script on doing this?
Or are there any tips on how to back up this information.
I have a dedicated server with SSH ability and I need to backup some of the accounts of the server via rsync to a normal shared account where I only have ftp access..?
View 14 Replies View Relatedcheapest dedicated to be used as a remote backup server. This server will be used to backup the fiels of other servers. We need this server to have raid1 or raid5 and at least 1TB of available hard disk space (we want to pay one time fee for the HDs, not monthly).
We've looked into the cheapest (server4you, serverpront) but their cheapest servers can't be customized.
As we are looking for cheapest solutions we are going to have a copy of this backup on another (cheap) DC. So we need 2 cheap places.
i have a dedicated server with rapidswitch. Few days back all my websites stopped working, due to some reason which i was not able to solve.
NOw, i want to backup all the files stored on my server. Each and every file including the database and every file there on my server.
I tried to log in through ssh on filezilla but i was not able to find out all the folders.
I have putty and could login over ssh , but i don't know the commands to backup.
Could, you guys tell me how to get all those files on my local computer.
i also have cpanel/whm installed and that is working.
We have 2 servers which run our website. One for data (about 50gb) and one for databases (about 5gb)
We currently perform offsite backups but we want to improve upon these. Our main objectives are:
1) Be able to recover as much info as possible in the event of a disaster
2) Be able to rollback to a previous version should we not notice a problem until later (ie 30 day history?)
3) Be able to restore as quickly as possible
4) Be able to afford it!
The options we seem to have are:
A) Use a service such as backupdirect.net which specialise in offsite backup and have specialised software to handle this. Obviously we get support, the backups are encrypted, etc and probably will end up with a much more robust backup solution.
However, it will take time to restore, if our server goes down we still have to get that working then perform the restore
B) Buy another dedicated server, which we can run everything on (albeit slowly!) and keep a 'live backup' on this server. This means we could switch to it should our main servers die for any reason with minimal downtime. Downsites would mean we have less support, would have to be careful with encryption of the data flowing from one server to another and we would have a less formal backup solution (eg harder to restore back to a point in time)
I'd like to know, how do you backup a cPanel dedicated server to a remote FTP server? WHM's backup only allows you to backup the client's accounts, but not the cPanel settings, or the stuff in /etc?

I will be only using the server to host movies.
I created a user and uploaded files via FTP. Now I just want the files visible online.
What do I need to do? Do I need to just upload and untar apache and it will work? Is it complicated? I heard lighttpd might be better than apache if I use the server to just serve movies, is that correct?
Which do you guys recommend of the following?
4x 73GB 15,000rpm SAS drives in a RAID 10
or
4x 73GB 15,000rpm SAS drives in a RAID 5 w/ online backup
any free tools or affordable tool online to check if a server is secure enough?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI have 2 managed dedicated server with one of the big company in US. we have been with them for years, and the backup plan we purchase is using Veritas.
For years the backup space usage counted from the max/highest backup space taken each day in 1 month.
but suddenly in the last few months the billing department start to sum all days backup for 1 month that make us exceed our backup usage crazily.
how the backup plan counted on your managed dedicated server.
What is the difference between Dedicated Virtual vs Regular Dedicated Server?
Also what are the pros and cons of going with Virtual?
Today I wanted to configure server for colocation and I went to both HP and DELL, and everything was ok until I started to configure HDDs. Price of regular 1Tb HDD is about $500 on both DELL and HP, while same drive costs $84 on newegg. Whats the catch? I mean processor, RAM, and everything else has normal prices, but HDDs are 6X more expensive than normal price.
Do you know any good site where I can configure server and order it to colocation address. Also it must be very cheap ? Best would be if I could order components from new egg, send them to company which assembles everything and then send it to DC.
I hope this is in the correct section. Secondly, here is my issue that I am hoping someone can help with.

I am currently shopping for web hosting for an online store (that would provide software - mostly automatically downloadable upon payment).
My estimates for initial operation of my web/online store are:
Storage: (10MB/app x 50 apps) + 50MB overhead = 550 MB
Monthly transfer: 5000 purchases/month x 10MB/app = 10 GB
Number of email accounts: up to 10
By "initial" I mean first year, not first month.
My intent is to develop my own osCommerce based web store for downloadable software that I develop. PHP and MySQL support are must. My estimates are not carved in stone. In the beginning I will certainly use much less "monthly transfer" than I specified and in the long term I hope to be using much more "monthly transfer" (as marketing evolves and the business becomes more established)...
The most important factors to me are (in the following order):
1) Reliability (up-time, security)
2) Tech support
3) Expandability (room to grow)
The company that registered my domain name provides web hosting with much more than I initially need (5GB space, 250GB transfer, 50 email accounts) for under $3 a month.
This is a price that I can afford. However, I am not sure whether it is a good idea to have both the web hosting and domain registration provided by the same company? Any opinions/comments you have about this? Is my doubt in this regard unfounded?
Secondly, is there some independent source (user/customer reviews OK) that compares the reliability of web hosting providers? (I would have given the name of my registrar here but I am unsure whether this would constitute advertising. If mentioning names or asking for references is allowed please let me know and I will post it here so that I can get your opinions about it).
Thirdly, is there any significance for where, geographically, the actual servers are located? Main consideration is access speed for customers...
