Have 2 Servers, What Is Best Way To Backup Data
Jul 24, 2007
What are the different ways to have 2 dedicated server work together so i have 0% down time.
I have 2 D. servers. My goal or mission is?
I want to use both servers for web hosting.
Some url will be hosted with one server and the other url will be hosted on other server. For exmaple on Server ONE, i will host X and Y url. But on server TWO i will have a mirror of data for X and Y url.
This means i will have Data of accounts on both servers but one server will host dns of some urls, while other server will host nds of other urls. But both server will have same hosting accounts (mirror = THIS IS DONE THROUGHT WHM/CPANEL).
HOWEVER MORE IMPORTANT, I want to have all my hosting accounts(url) on both server so if my one sever goes down i will I can have the other server have all url ready to work.
I am tryig to do this WITH-IN my domain dealer WITH NS.
If not, what can I do to make use of both of my servers so if one goes down I can not have down time per say. At the same time I will not ran into this email problems? Plus use both server for hosting, too?

I am working with a software package that processes uploaded videos then stores them on the server (similar to a youtube clone script) then embeds them in a page for watching / sharing. The software is basic, doesn't have multi-server capabilities. Is there a way to have the directory the software stores the files in actually mapped to another server so when people watch the movies all the embedding is done on the current server, however the video source is streamed from the second server.
I guess something like a sym-link ? (not sure if that's the right term).
Just looking for some pointers so I can fiddle and get a working outcome.

Why can't we have Unlimited data on dedicated servers? People say data costs alot of money so dedicated server providers cannot offer unlimited monthly data, but why don't hosting companies lay their own underground/underwater cables coz then they cud charge what they want? Or talk to the current cable owners and see if they can get unlimited data deals.
When u think about it, when u get satellite tv, they don't say u can only watch 100 hours of tv per month, coz u can watch as much tv as u want,yet the satellite still uses data, so y is this not the same for dedi providers?

I have a dedicated linux server that is using plesk, I need to make a complete copy of all the files (4GB) to my local pc, if I use FTP it will take days to download, if I use the plesk backup tool it will backup to a file that my pc cant read/open. Is there an easy way (I have no experience in systems admin) that I could compress all the files on the server to a .tar,.rar or .zip file and then just download that one complete file to my pc?

Just curious how everyone backups their servers offsite. I have "onsite" (more like on server, as I don't have physical access to the actual network obviously) so it puts .7z files in right folders and I occasionally go and download the latest backup. it does 10 rotations on the server.
But in my case its a simple small enough backup.
For big servers such as hosting, how do you go about backing up all the data?
I know some dedicated hosts provide backup, but they tend to be way too expensive, so I'm sure theres cheaper ways.

Has anyone pulled off a mass server move during the middle of the night? We have decided 350 E Cermak is where we want to be but are still working out the details of where we want to be in the building.
While the final details are being finished, I need to come up with some kind of plan to pull the move off with the least amount of downtime. Our current dc is about 4 miles away from 350 Cermak and we have approximately 50 servers to move. I plan on leaving a linux box around to redirect any traffic that is ignoring TTLs.
I was thinking the best thing to do would be label and remove all harddrives, then see if a moving company could put the servers on palettes, wrap them, and move them to 350 E Cermak. Not sure if a moving company would work in the middle of the night or not.
Courier services are pretty much out. Anytime we have had a courier service move anything not in a massive box with padding, it gets bent or broken.

to ask about this offer (millenniumdata dot com/BUSINESS/Business-Default.asp?include=Business-Dedicated-Servers.asp) I found. They have live chat support so i talked with someone and what he did say me is: servers come with Fedora and whole LAMP environment installed, you can SSH to the server, and install VNC, you have full ADMIN rights to install anything you wish, servers are not managed (he said that they are Managed in the sense that they are monitoring PING POWER and PIPE), they can Re-image to default for free, no setup fee, month to month payment.
I didn't use any dedicated server, I only used shared hosting. What I planed is to move my OpenX (former names OpenAds and phpAdsNew) installation to this server for now to see who is that working. I think that server is capable to run it, since it is currently run on shared hosting.

What configuration would be best for a backup server:
2 x 1000gb SATA II RAID 1 - $150
3 x 500gb SATA II RAID 5 - $110
4 x 500gb SATA II RAID 10 - $140
Reliability and performance wise, which would be more suitable for a R1Soft backup server? Best bang for the buck?
I didn't find this being discussed so I thought I should ask, since hardware gurus would know better than me.

We are developing a new web site that will be collecting private information (no credit cards - only names, phones, email addresses and potentialy addresses etc).
Our company will be based in the EU and the target audience will largely be located in the EU.
We were thinking of using some of the very respected US companies like theplanet or softlayer that have very good prices for a quality service instead of the more expensive and less flexible EU based solutions.
But I was wondering whether this would violate the EU privaxy regulations (not sure if softlayer or theplanet are part of the US Safe Harbor) or whether there would be a way to cover ourselves (e.g. special contractual binds with the provider (which i am hoping would be part of their standard SLA/T&C) or by mentioning in the Terms & conditions of our site that data will be stored in the US.

I was hesitant to even post this because I've been on the net for so long, that and I know just about every method out there. However, large corporations obviously can't live with loosing data so I figured I'd see what everybody else is doing out and figure out my next battle plan for archiving data.
Here's what happened. I had triple backups of some data. I burned them twice on DVD (yes, two DVD's of each archive) as well as had them on a WD hard drive. ALL are dead or unreadable. I had the discs in a DVD binder and they were never touched for a good 5 years. I put them in a player (multiple players) and only certain parts were read.
Other parts came up with errors. (Yes, I'm aware there are companies that offer recovery for both CD/DVD and Hard drives, but they always charge a fortune and in some cases, aren't worth it). This was Memorex media btw which might of had something to do with it, but at the time I thought it was the best. Next I went to the hard drive. This was stored in a room temp house over a good 5 years and when I plugged it in to a computer's IDE port, nothing. Not sure exactly what's wrong with the drive and I'm sure it could be fixed and recovered, but once again, that's not my question.
My Question: What methods are you using to store your archives over long periods of time? Any recommendations on hardware? I'm thinking of DLT Tape backups and of course doing RAID next but don't want to run into the same problem in 5 years. How can I sleep at night (which is already impossible) knowing that in 5 or 10 years when I'm ready to get into my backups that they will be there?
What are you doing and what do you recommend? Better yet, what the hell is Hollywood doing to keep all their music and movies safe?
