Is there any Open source backup software available for web hosting companies? I have a few shared hosting servers and a few dedicated servers and I want to setup a backup server for the backup of the data and config files of the servers. Please give me the names of some good open source backup software.
View 11 RepliesI have been getting multiple emails a month for a service which I have never purchased.
The information they have harvested off the internet (since I know where they found it) and have obtained solely for use in attempting to charge me is-
Invoiced To
Steven Crothers
12345 Main St.,
Detroit, MI, 48021
United States
Which is completely obvious that it is fake.
I respond to EVERY invoice with a cancelation request, yet the tickets that get opened in the WHMCS billing panel get deleted a day later, however I have tickets in there that I have opened by use of the ticket insertion form that have stayed - none of which were ever answered.
The latest ticket information-
Department:Billing And Invoicing
Date:09/10/2009 10:05
Subject:The Second Time...
Status:Open
Urgency:Medium
It's still open without a reply.
I have put tickets into their Kayako system as well (They have two support systems, I would assume its due to poor management of their company). One of which was answered, with simply the output of `uname -a` on some server somewhere with my name as the hostname.
I than have attempted to reach anyone via livechat at [url]they constantly tell me that I am not allowed to speak to anyone until I pay my bills up to current (now remember, I have NEVER ordered anything from them, they don't even have valid information on file). Just tonight I demanded that I required to speak to a billing agent or I would be pressing harrasment charges against them for the 23 emails I have recieved in 3 months from them trying to extort money from me. They than banned me from their LiveChat software.
I have no idea what to do at this point, they are just sending me bills every month. I mark it as spam, but its frustrating to have a company trying to extort money from me on a very regular basis.
I bought two Dell R200 because they was extremely cheap.
My target is Open Source SAN with active/passive setup.
Now i was wondering what RAID-level I should go for.
I will use 1TB SATA-II disks.
1) RAID-1 in both servers and mirror each other with DRBD.
With this setup i have like double RAID-1 so i lose lots of disk space.
4 disks -> 1TB
2) No-raid at all and i will mirror data with DRBD.
4 disks -> 2TB
Then there is change to go for RAID-5. Theres enough space to put third disk in that case
3) RAID-5 in both servers. Mirrors data with DRBD.
6 disks -> 2TB but more performance.
But in every setup i lose space more then i would like to.
Actually i dont need space more then 1TB, but i would like to get best possible redundancy and most space available i could.
Also need to remember that those servers does not support hot-plug HDs so in case there is disk-failure i need to be able to shutdown one server and iSCSI should still be up and running.
Of course theres change to make it active/active.
I was thinking that if I go for the RAID-5 I will make LVM-VG on both nodes (san-vg1 and san-vg2) and use it 50/50.
In case of fail both VG's will be used from working node.
Im going to use Debian Lenny I guess..
I was looking for OpenFiler because of the GUI, but im familiar with Debian and have always done everything from cmd.
an A/V kind of solution, that allows me to use my own custom signatures, etc. just wondered if such a thing existed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI own a small tech firm, mostly in business to support the customer with basic repair and upgrade. In recent year, more and more of my SMB customer ask me about the hosting service of the CRM or CMS.
The question I have is, although the open source tool, such as SugarCRM and Drupal is free of charge, but will it be free for some one like me to offer the service to my customer, either the same or customerize it a little bit.
And if it can be done, what kind of precaution I need to take, so I will not be involved in the copy right battle later on.
Thought this might be of interest to folks on WHT. We put together a solution using Nginx ( Engine-X ) to do Global Server Load Balancing. This solution lets you do GSLB without having to fork over $26k per site to F5 or Foundry.
Thought it would be of interest to both end-users as well as dedicated hosting providers who might want to make it into a service (eg. sell a dedicated host in Europe and the US as a group, with the solution pre-installed).
The entire project, including relavent configs is available for download in the latest ( issue 6 ) FREE issue of o3 magazine (o3magazine.com)
I want to set up a dedicated server for spam and virus filtering (MX)
But i was wondering, is there a good opensource based tool for this?
Do you have any recommendation for an open-source firewall running on Unix which could do:
- Filter and redirect incoming (with exception for some IP).
- Filter outgoing port (with exception for some local IP or MAC).
- Monitoring incoming traffic
- Monitoring outgoing traffic
- Block access from external to a list of IP
- Proxy authentification
- VPN configuration
I search for 2 days now and nothing seems to respond to these requirements. It's for a local network.

Which PHP encoder do you all suggest out of Ioncube and Source Guardian? Or possibly another if you know a good one. I checked out Zend Encoder, but its expensive as hell.
Currently I'm thinking about Ioncube. I know the majority of web hosts have ioncube loader installed, but I'm not sure about source guardian.
when I compile lighttpd from source -- I cannot seem to enable/disable the modules I need.
I have tried
./configure --without-status --with-rewrite
and also
./configure --disable-status --enable-rewrite
but no luck. The rewrite flag may not work since the configure script may or may not detect the pcre library, but status should be disabled.
After the configure script is complete, I get a listing of the enabled/disabled modules that are in the build and nothing new has been changed.
if a program is compiled and installed (configure -> make -> make install) with a --prefix pointing to an empty subfolder, then would removing it be just a simple delete the folder and it's contents action ($rm -fr subfolder/).
Ok so lets say I was to install php from source with a complile prefix flag set to /usr/local/php
Then all the binaries and configuration files are set within the directory (php/conf , php/bin). If I want to delete the php installation then I would just remove the /usr/local/php directory, No?

View 9 Replies View RelatedBackup VPS hosting
I'd like feedback on the following.
I've recently come into a pile of older DB servers and my first thoughts were: these would make awesome multiple backup systems.
I'm thinking for some quantity of moneys (say $60/m), a client could rent an entire older machine running ESXi or Xen and host live backups of several VPS accounts. In the event of a failure, the backup could either be replicated to a new primary VPS account, or the domains could be pointed to the backup VM while the primary VPS is inoperable.
Most (all?) of the potential machines are:
4x Xeon 700MHz
8GB RAM
2x 18GB SCSI (RAID1) -- several TB of NFS are available nearby
Some bandwidth (say 0.5MB/s??)
Running either ESX(i) or VMware Server, I've been able to comfortably fit 1/2 dozen to 1 dozen mostly idle VMs. Obviously they'd be a little slow for primarily hosting a full set of live VPS accounts, but I think for backup, testing, or development they'd be a good blend of low cost with capacity.
With regard to the yesteryear CPUs, consider you have (effectively) a full 2.4GHz at your beck and call compared to (who knows how much) of a slice of a more modern CPU with most VPS systems.
So, thoughts? Am I crazy? Sound interesting? Should these be sent off and turned to molten metal+plastic? Obviously there's no technical reason they couldn't be installed w/ some generic Linux distro instead.
I'm not trying to sell/rent these, they're still sitting on pallets awaiting their fate, just soliciting feedback.
Thinking very seriously about revolutionizing the ISP market, starting with WiMax-based service in the Texas hill country, as I'm tired of the basic monopoly outside of town and the near-monopoly in town for halfway decent access. Anyhow, I plan to get Cogent FastE for the main backbone, however I know I need something else in case some spat starts between Cogent and someone else (Level3, France Telecom, Telia). Internap is in Austin I know, but Cogent has a POP in San Antonio which is much closer to where I'm going to deploy the network. Any options in the Internap price range for maybe 20 Mbit to start? Yeah, I know that the price of the "backup" connection may be more than that of the main line, but if people want their WoWwebetc. I want to live up to that promise.
Thanks in advance. If I gotta use Internap I'll do that, but again that means setting up a link in the opposite direction to what I'm thinking right now. The ultimate answer would be something relatively inexpensive (sub-$100 per Mbit with 20 Mbit commit) relatively close to one of Cogent's San Antonio data centers. Cogen't bandwidth deals are awesome, but with one peering argument per year or so a backup seems needed.
