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.

We have been using BQ Backup for some time now and have been very satisfied with the service for the price. Is there anyone else out there that offers a similar service at a similar price, just feeling that it is time now to move on.

I emailed them and ask them to enable it , they said it will take up a lot of processor utilization ... even for 1 cpanel account. AND... if I really need the cpanel backup, I have to pay $30 USD per backup!
That's really strange. Never mind that, I was thinking any other way I can do this? I dont have SSH , no putty, just FTP, which I am a bit skeptical when it comes to downloading large qty of files.
Any php backup script which I can use to trigger the cpanel backup or just do a zip file with the whole home directory
What is an alternative to help reduce the massive amounts of cpu resources a CPanel Backup Wizard causes when doing generating a full backup?

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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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'm planning to add a remote backup to my vps, the only solutions i know at this time is only from www.crissic.com but i would like to know if there's other solutions out there used by WHT members
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'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 run cpanel on centos,
and i backup all websites and system setting to the 2nd hd by whm's backup feature everyday,
i want to ask if any script or method i can backup all the files to another server in a period of time,
it may be a week or 3 three days...etc,

View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.?
