Web Space As Personal Backup
Does any reliable hosting company that offers hundreds of gigs space allow "personal backups", ie. non-web content? I've been looking at ToS of some big names but most if not all don't allow this. It would be only 1-2 gigs, so I might get away with it anyway on most hosts, but would like to avoid problems in the future. Dreamhost offers both SVN and rsync, which I'd like a lot, but they clearly forbid such use. And, I do have an external hard drive and very important files are also on DVD and memory stick, but since I need to purchase webhosting I'm looking at this extra option too.

Improve Performance- Web Server, SSH Server, And Mail Server
I've got a VPS which is serving as the main server for a number of sites. Web Server, SSH Server, and Mail Server. What I've got running: Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, Dovecot, Postfix One of the sites is a growing forum with a MASSIVE photo album. This is the site where I notice the most slowness. Changing the server software is not an option - Only optimization.

Using Domain Name Server (DNS) And A Backup Server
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?

New Server Without OS (Remote FTP Backup Server)
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.

Rsyn --backup --backup-dir Switches For Incremental Backs
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/

Backup Server
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?

Server Backup Methodology
How do you handle the backups on your server? 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?

Cheap Backup Server
Any recommendations for a cheap backup server? Budget less than $50. Either a 500GB or 1TB drive. Don't recommend those backup services like BQ. I can get a whole server for cheaper than their prices. The only one I've come across is this Atom: [url]

VPS As A Backup Server
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'?

Backup Server, Connecting
I got my backup server yesterday. It's connected to the second NIC on my main server, where I have all of my domains/accounts. The server provider gave me a password and a ip address to the backup server, 192.168.x.x I have tried to log in to the backup server with ssh and ftp from my main server. Nothing happens, I can't connect. Am I doing something wrong? I thought it just was to log in to my main server, and then ssh or ftp to the backup server.

Specs For A Backup MX Server
setting up a Backup MX server for my domains and I was wondering what sort of a spec'd server I'd need for around 20-40 domains. The 20-40 domains aren't hosted on the same network/server so it would be unlikely for all of them do go down at once...but at the same time I dont want any emails to go missing.

Offsite Backup Server
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

Backup On Cpanel Server - How And Why
How should I go about the backup of my cpanel server. I have 2x 250gigs drive in raid 1 + 1x 250gigs hd mounted as /backup I also need offsite backup. Im reading, and im a bit confuse how I should approach this backup thing. Here are a few of my questions: 1) Should I use the built in cpanel backup or a different script? 2) With offsite backup, rsync seems to be the way to go? 3) If I have a 250gigs drive as /home, it seems that my /backup drive needs to be way larger to accept daily / weekly / monthly backup? 4) Is offsite also needs daily /weekly / monthly backup?

Exchange Server Backup
We are currently using Veritas BackupExec to backup our in-house Exchange Server. However, we ALWAYS get some type of error when using this program, whether its the "Advanced Open File" piece of the program, or just what it calls a "corrupt email," I'm fed up with it. Does anyone have any suggestions for a sub-$100 program that can backup everything Exchange (database, emails, etc.) and has open file protection (for backing up system files, etc.)?

Using Rsync To Backup An Entire Server
The backup program (cpbackup) that comes with WHM/Cpanel is not ideal for our current situation. We have lots of third party applications installed on our server along with many customized configuration files. We need a solution that will backup everything and allow for fairly simple restoration. How viable is rsync for full server backups? Can it handle 100 GB of data? More importantly, how would you restore the backup to a new server? If the new server already has an OS the restored files would break the system, right?

Best Backup Solution (Cpanel Server)?
Example: I have 1 server for hosting, 1 server as Dedicated Backup server (Pls don't recommend me outsourced backup server as I already got one) I am looking for a solution which I am able to do daily backup while keeping low server load as well as able to restore it quickly when I need it. It's a cpanel servers. I understand that CPanel own backup method will tar my files (but I have too many accounts) and it also takes a lot of my server CPU resources which slows down my hosting server. I am now using rsync which does incremental backup that really works and I am happy about it but I paid $55 per month for 1 cpanel servers as I oursourced the rsync installation & server management backup. I have few servers and I don't find it cost effective. Anyone here can suggest different kind of method which I have not known yet? Or I would really appreciate if someone do not mind to share installation procedure for rsync with me. I tried to google for it and find them all very shallow information. This is not a try-and-error.

Remote Backup Solution For Server

(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.

Why Is RAID 1, Just Use A Backup System/server
I haven't yet broken into the realms of dedicateds, although I have a decent VPS and am anticipating the need to get a dedi in the future. Hence I'm wondering briefly why exactly RAID (insert some random number?) is recommended? I know it does something to do preventing hard drive failure, although would an efficient backup system be a decent alternative with regards to cost?

CPanel Server Backup Drive
After adding a second drive mounted as /home2 for backups I attempted to use the cPanel "Configure Backup" and I get the following message. Quotas cannot be built! Your cpbackup destination is on a filesystem which has quotas enabled. Please move it to a filesystem which does not have quotas turned on or a separate partition/disk slice mounted at /backup.Backup has been disabled to prevent quota problems... All searches on how to resolve this really reveal no solutions. I did a google search on "disable filesystem quota" among others and could find nothing.

Offsite Backup Of Dedicated Server
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?

SusE / MAC X-Server Backup
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.

Backup Server Control Panel
I am in the process of getting my new colo setup going. My initial colo is on a per server basis so I don't need a switch right away. I am however going to add a switch so I can have my servers connected privately to a backup server in the same rack. On this backup server, what is the best type of "system/control panel" to use to setup the backup accounts for each of my servers? I could just create accounts manually via the Linux command line, but curious if there is a good way to do this (Webmin maybe?). Of course this server will not be accessible from the internet, it will be on the "private" network and accessible from the other servers. How are those with a similar setup doing this?

Dedicated Server Backup/Uptime
I currently run a business that has 125 to 150 domains, with 150GB worth of files and databases. Right now my business is hosted on Hostgator. The files and database are not 100% protected if a hard drive crashes. I Found www.mosso.com and they take all my hosting problems of 100% uptime and backups away, but they also create a few because I don't get command line access to a server. We use GIT to manage the upgrade and development process of the application, so we need command line access. My question to you is: How do you handle this backup issue? If I can take my focus off of making sure there is 100% uptime and backups if something crashes automatically, I can grow my business much faster.
