I colocate a server in a nearby datacentre. It's a CentOs+Cpanel server. The problem is my server 2 hard disk is used with no backup. I am thinkin of doing the backup manually myself by walking in the datacentre every weekend with my desktop cpu with new hard drive.
Is there a possible way I can store backup that way?
I recently bought a VPS from [url].. Probably about a week and a half ago. The VPS runs great, everything's going fine, but I'm wondering what is up with their company... I can't access billing, and their frontpage has been replaced with this message:
Quote:
I am sorry to see no website. We are redoing alot of things with our company. If you need any support do so by emailing us We can get them. At [url]or [url]We you are a customer and need support you can do so by emailing and one of our techs will get back to you.
If you're a company, don't you think you should notify your customers in a more professional manner than just putting a small message up on your website?
I've tried emailing support to ask them what's going on because honestly I don't feel too comfortable putting my files on this VPS and not knowing if it will exist tomorrow... It's been 24 hours since my email and I haven't received a response yet. 2 weeks ago when I looked into this company I received responses from Sales within minutes and now all of a sudden nothing at all..?
How would/do you make use of commodity (generally a few years old) servers? At any scale, from 1 to 1,000 of them? Especially things you could sell?

I realise not all of these are limitation on all shared hosting accounts or indeed availabale on all vps accounts, but they represent the general rules for each.
So far I have:-
i) high or unlimited number of simaltanious processes.
ii) self setting process time out
iii) high or unlimited simaltanious pop3 account access
iv) guarenteed ram, process access and connectivity
v) high or unlimited email sending allowance (subject to usual spam policies)
vi) unlimited domains
vii) resource allocation per domain
anything else...speciaically im looking for way that shared hosting account are usually limited (like with the above mentioned simaltanious processes) that is not normal for vps accounts.
Is there no possible way I can slave just a few tables in mysql? instead of slaving the entire table on the main database server.

I have a problem after change permissions :

after run above commands when I trying to restart apache show me this error:
Warning: SuexecUserGroup directive requires SUEXEC wrapper.
I have 3 servers and use cPAnel which I will continue to do so as I see they have the greatest lifespan compared to the rest.
However, could anyone advise what will be the most resource-saving and easiest way to backup all customers data in case of failure?
How often do you guys backup?
Care to share your experience?
I've often hunted for a dedicated server that needed to have certain criteria, and it's usually overwhelming comparing servers from different companies. For example, if I need 4GB, one may come with 4GB RAM, while another has 2GB standard with the option of getting another 2GB for a small extra fee.
Is there a site that lets you enter your criteria, and it will list servers that meet your needs? For example, you could have it list servers with at least 8GB of RAM, or servers with 500+GB hard drive and 1000GB transfer/month, etc.
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.
I have a 6GB backup file created with another Plesk Backup Manager, now I trying to upload this backup file to my Plesk Backup Manager but after upload 3% I am getting "413 Request Entity Too Large" error, I tried with disable NGINX but still getting this error.
how can I resolve this error or is their any other way to upload my file on backup manager?
I see that Backup Manager have a file size restriction of 2GB how can I increase this?
I have an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit virtual private server with Plesk 12. The server is hired from a hosting provider. The server is used to run the Odoo ERP application (using postgres database).
The Odoo application is running fine and now I want to create a backup of the application using Plesks Backup manager.
I choose configurations and content option in the backup manager but the created backup is only 200kb.
I think the problem is the location where the Odoo application is installed is not included in the backup. I made a tar backup from the server and extracted it on my pc. It seems that the main parts of the Odoo application are in the var, opt, etc and usr directories (not in a domain but under root).
Installing the application in a domain would solve the Plesk backup issue I think but the installation script of Odoo puts Odoo in var, opt, etc and usr directories even if I put the install script in the directory of a created domain. Since the manual Odoo installation is complicated I am very happy to use the script.
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to include the directories var, opt, etc and usr in the Plesk backup and how and where do I do that?
2. Can I restore such a backup without no problem in Plesk?
I current do some rsync backups with a command like so every day
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/
What I want to do is have some incremental backups in there in subdirectories. So, for example, something like this on the remote server
/home/user/something.tuesday
/home/user/something.friday
I thought the --backup --backup-dir Switches were used to store just the files that had changed in seperate directories, am I wrong on that?
I've read everything I could find, including the big rsnapshot scripts, but I'm not able to do what I want, it seems so simple but something's not right, am I wrong that subdirs should have just files that are new or have changed. I tried various things like this, but had no luck
rsync -az -e ssh --stats --delete --backup --backup-dir=/home.Thursday --exclude "stuff" / user@server:/home/user/
I have transfer full backup with cpanel to ftp backup,
But,How transfer full backup from FTP Backup to cPanel?
Whitch software?
my cpanel doesn't get backups. When I force it, it gives me this error:
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
mount: can't find /backup in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[cpbackup] Backup failed! /bekkaplars is not mounted! at /scripts/cpbackup line 415.
It's a vps. Another interesting thing is, my other 3 vpses run good even /etc/fstab has no line like /backup in there, also.
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?
