I have a few questions about backup. Other than any backup service provided by your host, do you backup your vps regularly?
Is it automated or manual?
Are you using any external backup service / server?
not sure if it's available, but is there anyway we can manually backup mysql db with a single command line? any kind of help would be appreciated...
this is a pure mysql server, not with cpanel or directadmin in anyway..
am hosting with servage most such hosts dont provide backup for ur files in case ur moving to other host so i was wondering if i can manually through FTP download my enitre directory including all files (html, jpg, PHP SCRIPTS) and manually reupload them onto the other host i will move to soon will that actually work
and for MySql databases i have created a PROPER backups via their auto backup system
they only lack backup for the files itself only, MySql is fine
will restoring the MySql databases but via a different control panel (CPanel) will it possible?
Is there a way to automate the generation and FTP of home directory backups in Cpanel?
CPanel lets you create a full account backup and ftp's the result to another server but can only be done manually from what i understand. Is there a way to initiate the process automatically? maybe schedule it for once a week.
i recently find out that I don;t have an database backup for one of my biggest websites.
The database I'm talking about has 228 tables (198.6 MB)
In the backup file I only get this :
-- MySQL dump 10.11
--
-- Host: localhost Database: lxxxxxxa_sXXXl
-- ------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version5.0.45-community-log

The other databases I have tried are all ok, but none is this big. Is there any size limit ?
I have uploaded an printscreen with the setings of my WHM.
I found this useful script to get backup in plesk:

It has been bought to my attention during our upgrade planning, that PPA & Plesk Panel do not offer the functionality for setting up a backup MX servers. In our current configuration we use Sendmail as both secondary and tertiary MX servers. These are manually configured and prone to configuration mistakes.
Multiple scenarios need to be taken into consideration.
Scenario 1: Hosters Plesk hosted primary mail server + secondary & tertiary mail servers.
Scenario 2: Client hosted primary mail server + hosters secondary & tertiary mail servers.
I am looking for alternate ways for backup / secondary MX servers for our planned PPA / Plesk deployment. An automated solution would be ideal, but we are falling short trying to find a solution to streamline the process and remove margin for error.
I have an External FTP Backup (NAS):
IP : XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
username: user
password: pass
how can I mount it with one floder in my root and how can I configure it in /etc/fstab?
If someone hacks my server (Softlayer) and delete everything (including the backups)- does that mean I will lose everything? Is there any way to have an external backup which is not accessible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a script that will create a compressed backup file of my website files as well as a compressed backup file of my mysql databases.
What I want to do is create a script that will site on my external hard drive that will be connected to the internet and would have it automattically connect to my webhosting account (via ssh or ftp) and download the specifid backup files everyother day. My goal is to be able to have a backup file on my local hard drive here in case anything happens to the backups that are already saved to another webhosting server.
how to setup an external hard drive with USB port to a webserver with following configuration:
Centos 5.3
Cpanel (latest)
What I want to do is to format and mount an external hard drive by USB port to my server and take my daily cpanel accounts on it.
I was told by the data center NOC that I can manually handle rdns/ptr requests myself, as long I do the below.
Set up your name servers to respond to the reverse dns inquiries that we would forward to you.
Can anyone shed light on this? What if someone requests rdns on 32 IP's in one shot for example, how would you go about doing this?
some question about WAMP.....
1.which one is better?using wamp in productive system or do ur manual installation?
2.which WAMP is better?web-developer-server suite,apache2triad,WAMP5,or vertrigo?
We run CentOS for our web servers (not providing hosting) and manually compile Apache, PHP etc. What would be the benefits to using Yum rather than compiling the software ourselves?
The way I see it, Yum allows Apache etc to automatically update to latest versions and saves time. When compiling myself though, I can specify exactly where to install to and which modules etc to install with the software. Is there any reason we should be using Yum instead?
Allow from 192.168.0.*
to the httpd-manual.conf to enable access by other machines on my network but it seems to be hard coded to localhost only.
Is there something else I can add to httpd-manual.conf to enable it or do I need to copy manual folder to the htdocs folder and then restrict that <Directory> ?
Ive the problem that i must update my Plesk manual, after Server-Restart i become this Error:

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a dedicated server that only has around 3-4gb of data on it. I would like to do automated nightly backups for as cheap as possible. I don't want to pay to have my server managed just to be able to have automated backups, so what other solutions do I have? I know I can get really cheap storage from Amazon or Mosso, but is there a way to automate this?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI run my own Mail Server.
Everytime I create a new website account in WHM I am required to go in and manually edit the DNS record to include the MX record of my mail server.
I would like to streamline the process and need a way to make WHM automatically include my MX records every time I create a new account. Is this possible?
some software that can be ran on a desktop that will allow me to download and backup my databases from my Cpanel server.
I have a remote backup server that once the databases are backed up can be uploaded to this location. Im not too sure if im going around things in a long winded fashion, but ideally i need a solution that can take management of my database backups.
The cpanel dedi im using at the moment is currently utilising the Backup feature, so this is a secondary backup. At the same time i would like to select which databases are backed up too.
Realistically im looking for your expert advice here, im a novice when it comes to server admin etc so your expert help to guide me would be fantastic. Im not to sure whether i would need a desktop tool to back these databases up, or whether it can be done at a server level? Dare i say it im just used to using GUI's and not so familiar with command lines etc.
MPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (server.mydomain.com) resolves to . It should resolve to xx.xx.xxx.xx. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
I'm used to operating dedicated servers. This year I want to venture into getting a reseller account and / or media temple account.
With my dedicated servers, I do automated mysql dumps and I do nightly rsyncs of all my /home /etc and other important data so disaster recovery is possible.
My question is, how do you do the same thing? Sleep well at night? with these regular web hosting accounts?
I see most newbie people who pay for web hosting do not bother to backup their data. Ignorance is bliss until disaster strikes.
How do you automatically backup your data (mysql and directories) in your multiple web hosting accounts like reseller or grid service media temple?
Are there any providers out there can be integrated with Plesk so that DNS zones for all vhosts are automatically propagated on the secondary DNS service?
I've asked DNS Made Easy but they advised that the domain has to be set up manually with them first.
I run an online music archive site . Djs can upload their mixes to share and we also archive radio shows for people to listen back to.
Basically I was wondering if it would be possible to build a secondary server that could do this for me.
The secondary server could have multiple cast rippers running and could record internet radio shows, then once finished recording transfer it could send them over to my primary server to add to the website for people to download.
I have a centos server & whenever I reboot it, it goes into File System check and takes about 1 hr to turn online.
The irony is, I reboot the server only when the load goes high (esp when traffic is high).. And the server is down for long times when traffic is high.
The server config is pretty good, but it shows these problems once in 15-20 days.
I am using a Linux server together with Parallels v10.31 ... Unfortunately I get little or no real support from my host so and if I do it's cryptic.
I have been getting a large amount of emails from my server [hundreds daily].
I have attached a screen grab indicating type of email being sent.
I have created only one cron job and that was to reset the RAM on a regular base.
Also is it safe to update to the latest version without a major disaster happening....
