Time(GMT): 08:00 pm, My server takes a daily backup , at that time all my Client’s forum down(PHP)! why ? I do not know .!! it takes approximately 15 min.
It comes like this:

setting up a server running ZFS as a backup server. My only problem is that it's very new to me, and naturally I'm skeptical of it's redundancy capabilities etc, I don't want to get burned. Anyone used ZFS, what's your experience with it?
I setup one Linux server, I want use SSH transfer my website data (already .tar) to another Linux server. May I know what SSH command to use and transfer my file to another Linux server?
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'm looking for a dedicated machine that will be used solely for rsync backups. (I don't want to use a shared rsync solution)
Requirements are simple, at least 1TB HD and < $99 a month. Should have a decent amount of RAM and processor, but other than that, I would think any reputable provider would do.
Most places I find a suitable server for $49 and then see it's another $50/mo. to upgrade to a 1TB hard drive. Hard to believe the markup for these larger drives considering they go for, what $89 now?
i'm running trixbox on vmware on my home vista (because i need the media center) box.. perfecto..
Anyway, i'm thinking about setting up a virtual box just as a backup server (ns3.xxxx.com?) for times like now when my server decides to fall out of the sky and nobody at dedicated now feels like responding. I'll try not to bring that issue to the forum but point is, has anybody ever used a VPS as a backup server? it sounds pretty simple actually if i could get one right now i'm game since without their e-mail my clients are helpless and they are blowing up my phone as i type.
Other question is regarding e-mails (the primary concern), many of these guys (my clients) still love squirl mail, how can i keep the boxes on either server synced? so when one is down the other 'continues'?
I currently have two VPS servers, each with 2 DNS names running on them as follows:
dns1.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns2.mydomain.com (on Server A) dns3.mydomain.com (on Server B) dns4.mydomain.com (on Server B)
I have websites running on each server and I would like to have something set-up so that when one server goes down, the other server displays a nice page saying the website is unavailable currently and will be back shortly - you know, something nicer then the normal "Server Not Found" default messages.
What is the best way to do this?
If I have CLIENTDOMAIN.COM and put them on Server A and they use all 4 DNS server names, will the top two DNS names always be used by people finding the website, and the bottom two choices only be used if the top two can't be found?
I believe I have to create an account on Server B for them as well, just only placing the temporary page within the account, rather then a whole copy of their website. Correct?
I just purchased a new server with 4 hotswap HDD of 250GB each and reload with new CentOS 5 without any host control panel.
The purpose is to backup all my other Cpanel servers data remotely. All my Cpanel servers are fully managed servers. This is the first time i'm going to do all things by myself, so I'm really a newbie. Please don't advise me to hire a server admin because I end up learning nothing I need to learn..
1. My first step now is to secure & harden the server.
- Can anyone mind to share with me valueable knowledge of basic server security & hardening? I was also thinking to use sudo root password which my serveradmin actually did but I don't know how. But su - access level would be OK too.
- I also need to install firewall and close all kind of port and block all SSH connection from all kind of IP except my server & my own IP address only. Can anyone provide me a guide?
2. Secondly what I need is to install FTPd and create user for each hard drive with 2 directory inside. /sda/server1/ /sda/server2/ /sdb/server3/ /sdb/server4/ /sdc/server5/ (reserved for future server) /sdc/server6/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server7/ (reserved for future server) /sdd/server8/ (reserved for future server)
Does anyone knows where to find documentation how do install ftpd and how to setup user pointed to the specific directory.
I just got a new dedicated server and our server does automatic backups, but I think it only saves to the existing hard drive. How frequently do you back up? I think the standard is every Sunday or Sunday/Wed depending on your traffic load.
Where do you put your backups? A remote FTP server? A second hard drive?
suggest me good backup server and not very costly too. I just required ftp and possibly web interface to check for disk usage.... I required around 40GB of disk space.
Server A = 10 host accounts Server B = 15 host accounts Server Backup use rsync to get 25 account
will it be work?
and each domain the name server
ns1.host.com < - Server A ns2.host.com < - Server A ns3.host.com < - Server B ns4.host.com < - Server B ns5.host.com < - Server Backup ns6.host.com < - Server Backup
www.abc.com
ns1.host.com < - Server A ns2.host.com < - Server A ns5.host.com < - Server Backup ns6.host.com < - Server Backup
Wondering what the most cost-effective and efficient way of building up a bulk backup server. I'm colocating some equipment and will have a private network.
I have a full cab, and only a few servers in it, so lots of room to spare.
Now this will originally just be used for my own users, but I need ease-of-use and expandability. For example, I can load it up with lots of cheap SATA drives, and a raid card. However, what do I actually do on the software end? Installing Linux and setting up rsync crons is the easy part, but what about permissions? Is there an easy way to create users?
I'm working with a local startup and we are looking into potential backup solutions. We have roughly 9 servers all running some variation of susE linux (some straight susE and some X Server which runs off susE).
We are needing a backup solution that will allow us to securely get data off the servers on a regular interval. We are unable to move the data off site as we are running on a single T1 line with moderate utilization, certainly not enough BW to go off site.
For my web hosting business, we tell our clients to use ns1.readysetconnect.com and ns2.readysetconnect.com.
I have noticed that whenever ns1 locks up, most ISPs never even acknowledge ns2. Its like they just give up once ns1 is down even if ns2 is on a different machine. So what is the point of even having two name servers if they don't even look up the 2nd one?
