UK To USA Offsite Backup, To Slow
Apr 18, 2009
I have a server in UK and i want to make daily offsite backups to a remote location using rsync or other similar software.
My idea is to buy a backup server in USA, but i dont know if is going to work well/fast because of the long distance between UK and USA (latency).
So any experiences making backups from UK > USA?
What do you think, can i buy a backup server in USA or if i want to have fast/reliable backups i have to buy a server also in uk because of the distance?

Razorservers.com provide offsite backup service that can be used for not only servers but also PCs, Mac, linux, Windows, Solaris, etc. Think that must be useful for many web masters.
Does your host provide the same?

Does anyone here know of any offsite backup companies based in the UK?
I've recently moved my server from Texas to London and want to use an ftp/rsync offsite backup space with a company in the UK

leave LayeredTech completely, including Dynavol.
My new host I've chosen doesn't have backup services, but no big deal. I'd like to know what people out there use (Company and Specific Services) for off site backup of their servers.
I can either do push or pull. I liked how Dynavol worked. I guess if that's the best option I could keep LT strictly for Dynavol, but looking to see what others think.

I have a VPS with remote backup that I dod every night with rsync.
Now, for further SEO testing, Im looking into a reseller account.
Some reseller plan do offer access via SSH. Im not familiar with this ssh access for a reseller. Would I still be able to program a cpanel backup and then rsync all my cpanel backup ?

running my own servers but i have been hosting websites for a years now using a dedi server in the USA through c-Panel, now i am looking to offer my clients offsite backup to a local server at my end, offering small to large packages of bandwidth and storage.
Anyway i have all that sorted the thing is i had a webpage developer create the pages for me and configure it to my ip address (as im not using a domain name for this server) the problem im having is hosting these pages on my centOS 5 server setting up apache, ftp, etc. i require a username and password for each of my clients and when they log in they will be displayed with there file inventory including the files they have uploaded, where that is the other problem i am having creating username and passwords for each of my clients what would be the best software that could do this? remember these backups are via ftp and a web based interface for files up to 500mb but to use a ftp program i will still need to create a username and password for each of my clients

I have a managed dedicated server at a co-location. While the service I pay for runs the Cpanel backup function, I feel I need to provide a better service to my customers by creating an exact duplicate(image) of the drive itself. I don’t want my customers to lose their databases and web site information.
I need help with creating a Plan B. The plan I thought might work, would be to get a workstation, download Acronis and make an image of my dedicated server on a scheduled basis.
The reasons I thought this was a good idea:
1) I would have the image in my hands(my control), should something happen to my main hosting server.
2) It would create a complete off-site back-up.
3) It seemed cost effective.
What if Scenario:
So my main hosting server gets taken away in a hurricane and the data center will not be up and running for 3 months. I have an image of the hard disk, now what do I do with it?

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.

I'm currently using (amongst other backup systems) rsync to an offsite space (am using BQBackup at the moment)
I'm just wondering - apart from backing up all of /home/, /var/lib/mysql/ and the important config files (httpd.conf, php.conf, etc etc) is there anything else that *needs* to be backed up?
Obviously in a worst case scenario, a new machine would be deployed with a fresh OS install (and a fresh WHM/cPanel install) so I wouldn't worry about backing up OS files or cPanel core files, although I'm wondering if there's anything apart from the /home/ directory and the MySQL databases which would be lost (and so need backing up) in the event of a crash?

Right now I am using the built-in cpanel backup feature to backup all the accounts on my server to an offsite FTP backup account I have on a weekly basis. The problem I am having is that everytime the backup runs, the load (thats what I'm guessing is the cause) is crashing apache/bind, causing sites to be unreachable until I can restart the services. What options do I have to resolve this issue? Currently I already have spri installed, and it does help out a bit, but its still not enough.

We have a problem with a Plesk backup. We have about 300 domains, the scheduled task starts 23.30 and takes about 16 hours and thats not normal. Before it took about 9-10 hours for 'All configuration and content' and that was too long, so we set up for 'All configuration and content except mail'. It worked for a few days and then it started to take 14 - 16 hours for a server backup. We use Plesk 11.5 on CentOS 6 64bit.

would it be possible to have my main box running apache, a second box for dns/other and an offsite secondary dns such as DNS1.PUBLIC-DNS.NET?
Is it possible to authenticate the primary and offsite secondary nameserver so the zone is transferred to the secondary? Would i need to pay for a special service, or do free ones exist? Are there any security implications with zone files being transferred out over the public internet, would a vpn need to be configured or can the process be encrypted via the transfer procedure?
Finally, how would this affect the way the entire virtual hosting works? I know when the nameserver on the host machine serves resolves a name request for a computer trying to browse the site in question, but when the actual http request goes to the web server does it incldue the domain it is looking at also?

I've just co-located a few servers and I need to get some offsite NAS, based in the UK so we can start taking regular backups.
Wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations of good but reasonably cheap companies to use for this?

I've got 25 domains on a Virtuozzo/Plesk8.6/CentOS5 VPS. Each domain has one up-to-date install of WordPress, most have very little traffic (average 200mb per month), maybe 2 domains get 5-7gb traffic per month.
I monitor port 80 connections and rarely see more than 10 at a time.
That should in my opinion be no problem at all for a VPS with 768mb guaranteed ram and 2.4ghz cpu. I've got 30gb hard drive spare too.
But.... about 8 or 10 times a day it grinds to a complete halt: server load at 500-1000%, sites timing out, plesk takes 3mins to load, often I can't even connect with SSH, and the plesk web server, apache
INSERT INTO module_watchdog_sys_stat (time, type, value, service_id) VALUES(FROM_UNIXTIME(1226404705), 'MAINMEM_USAGE', 17472, 11);
80 seconds sounds like a huge amount of time for a MySQL insert to me! Does anyone know if this is likely to be the cause of my trouble? Some problem with Plesk and the database? Or could it be something else?

We have a server where we host the sites and email services, and we are looking to buy a MS Exchange offsite email solution in order to have a reliable dedicated email service.
We are thinking on going with Rackspace MS Exchange solution:
http://www.rackspace.com/email_hosting/exchange_hosting
So now its the hard part, i run my own dns / nameservers at this server so if i just change the mx at my Plesk panel if my webserver goes offline my email will also stop working, correct?
And at my registrar i only can change the name of the nameservers and the ips... and also add more nameservers (im using 2 ns).
So i need to figure it out how to config/setup the rackspace email in a way that when my webserver goes offline my email can keep up working.
The rackspace support team, said to me that they can host/run my dns on their servers in order to have my email working if my webserver goes offline.
So what do you think? Its a goo idea? The only idea?
Or there are better ideas?

I have multiple backups stored under server repository (subscriptions --> <domainname> --> website and domains --> backup manager).
The physical files are located at: /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients/904279/domains/<domainname>/
When I click the green arrow to download these files to a local computer (see attached image) I get a new page with title "Download the backup file". On this page I have the option to set a password on the downloaded file, but no matter what I do (password or no password) the file is not downloaded to my local PC. I don't get a pop-up box with the option to save the file. Just nothing happens ...

I have 2 problems:
Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.
Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.
