Remote Backup- Security In Canada / Usa
May 7, 2008
I was thinking of starting service provider of online backup service located in USA the data is stored in a vault (off site server)
Data replicated to another server at a another location.
Critical data is 128-bit encrypted, compressed, and then uploaded to a REMOTE server hosted by my company via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) with enhanced security.
The client chooses what kind of encryption they want to use and they choose their Password (I don't have access to this info)
With out their password they can NOT restore their information back
Lose the password and the Data can not be restored its loss
I have no idea what the passwords are.
Now all the info will be stored on this server
The question that comes to mind if the USA Government wanted to look for any information located in this storage server
Can they force the clients to give them access to this data ?
Talking to someone at storage pipe.com
He was saying that in Canada this info is protected and can not accessed by law
He was saying a lot of company's because of this are looking for off site storage in Canada because of this issue.
So from what I can understand if the storage server is located in the USA if the Government wants to look at the files they will force the clients to provide them access to these fies
either by asking or by court order
But in Canada this not an option the files are protected by Law
Now a lawyer I am not be it seems that if the company has nothing to hide it will not be and issue.
But like I said I have no idea what people or company's are backing up.
It can be anything!
All I do is store the backup data.
All I know is the amount(size) of Data stored on the server.
The last thing I need is people banging on my door asking me to access these files.
Now if I had my server located in Canada they would be protected by law.?

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?

I currently do daily backups to rsyncpalace Daily, weekly, monthly. cPanel does a backup of all user accounts to a folder and they are rsync'd offsite via ssh.
My questions are: Should I be comfortable or concerned that all of my website(s)' data are neatly bundled, stored in plaintext (tar) formats and only protected by a single login and password?
Am I exposed to any more or less risk of tampering with my data than on my webserver itself?

I have a linux dedicated server and use BMU (BackMeUp) for create cpanel full backup.
But this cant create remote backup for me. BMU use "ncftp" for this. and i see following error about this problem:
Time: Fri May 16 03:38:17 2008
The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:
/usr/local/bin/ncftp: FAILED
So, im install "ncftp" manually, but issue not resolved and i havent remote ftp backup too!
How can resolve this issue?

I have already developed shell scripts to automate account management, add/delete users, change quota, passwords etc. I am now working on web interface which will be used for managing the accounts, testing some free scripts and writing tutorials.
So far, my scripts can create chrooted (jailed) accounts with some basic shell commands.
The same disk space is also configured in samba and rsync daemon. Customers can use ssh/sftp or simply mount it as a network drive. Free utilities for Windows users (like deltacopy) work just fine with rsync daemon. Script can also modify iptables-based firewall and allow only certain IPs to access the server but I am still working on that part.
It takes about 10 seconds to create a new account and I have tested it on CentOS server.

I'm thinking about buying a shared hosting plan with lots of space. Anyone do backups to remote ftp server instead of rsync? I was wondering if it was possible to configure ftp in such a way to only transfer files that are NOT present on the remote ftp. This way, it doesn't overwrite existing files and thus save on bandwidth. Is it possible to transfer an entire folder with a ftp command, I know the mput command is for uploading multiple files to another location. Lastly, what are the advantages of rsync over ftp besides saving banddwidth and trannsferring only files that were changed?

I noticed that when "WHM Remote Backup" backs up my websites via ftp, the tar.fz archives are incomplete, meaning the backup is pretty much useless. I have tried with both PASV on and off and it still persists.
Any ideas why?
Also, what is the command to force the whm remote backup to run?

What exactly do you do when you take a remote backup through resync?
For instance, if i signed up with say bqbackup and started resyncing and taking backups, would i be copying all the data from my server to the remote server or is it possible only to copy the cpanel backups made daily/monthly/weekly to the remote space?
Also, when the resync runs everyday, does it replace the old files or does it create a new copy of everything that has changed?

I have two VPS's, VPS1 has one vbulletin community. VPS2 has about 10 cpanel accounts, mostly email, a blog site, etc. Both VPS's well under 10 gig in size not including any backups stored on the VPS.
For the more important VPS, VPS1, I am packaging the cpanel account (50mb) and SCPing it to VPS2.
I am also running pckgacct on the cpanel accounts on VPS2 (about 2 gig total, 1 tar.gz is 1.5gb, three others around 250mb, others smaller) and storing them on VPS2.
I then have WS_FTP scheduled to download the cpanel tar.gz files each night to a local machine.
I also have WHM setup to do daily incremental backups, but am not moving any of these offsite.
So, it seems I have three options:
Keep doing what I am doing.
Keep moving VPS1 tar.gz files to VPS2, but also start moving VPS2 tar.gz files to VPS1.
Start moving tar.gz files (or raw files with rsync) to offsite storage.
I'm curious on some feedback about the three options. These are personal sites, I am not reselling any sites/packages.
It seems like from a data security standpoint (email and stuff), the more 'locations' introduced into the loop, the less security there will be. Does anyone get concerned about moving their email and other data to offsite storage services?
As I said, I have a technical solution currently working, but I am wondering about the theory/data protection aspects of the various options for going forward.

first of all i don't know where to post this, so if this is in the wrong section, any mod can move it to the right section .
what i need is, trusted remote backup space for websites.
i googled and found many, but i would love to know who is trusted and who isn't .
i don't need massive space, around 10-15 GB and about 100 GB monthly traffic .

What's the best way to do a remote backup? Right now I have them all being backed up to a 2nd drive on the server.
If I do a remote backup, is it just as easy to access the files and do a restore?

I am using BQbackup since 10 months ago without problems. But in the last 6 days the transference rate is very slow (3kB/s). I already sent some emails to Scott but I dont receive a reply. So I need to have a look in other alternative to store my backups.

I've been exploring two possibilities.
1) Have a backup server in the same physical location as the main servers. Then have automated backups occur, through a local network. The benefits of this are obviously a) No bandwidth fee's b) Total control over data instead of relying upon a third party c) Faster transfer speeds.
However, that doesn't really help when it comes to disaster recovery etc, so, some sort of remote solution would probably be best.
2) Have a remote server in a different datacentre.
There's two ways of doing this, either by renting a server in an a different datacentre, and having remote backups that way (probably with Rsync), OR paying for some third party service.
I'd be interested in your input on what you think would work best and be most cost effective.

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.

I have recently had to set up all my backups again (add me to the ranks of disappointed bqinternet customers). I choose to go with Handy Networks - and I am SO very happy I did. The got all my servers set up quickly and correctly, but the most impressive thing was the communication - it is one of the best support experiences I have had in this industry. Not only on the initial set up, but even the questions i had afterward - they went above and beyond in their answers.
I know companies get ripped all the time on here for bad support - just wanted to give a little praise!

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.
