I am currently running a very data-intensive site, and I'd like to have a place to have a backup of all the data. Is there any host that specializes or allows me to do this at a relatively low price?

Backup VPS hosting
I'd like feedback on the following.
I've recently come into a pile of older DB servers and my first thoughts were: these would make awesome multiple backup systems.
I'm thinking for some quantity of moneys (say $60/m), a client could rent an entire older machine running ESXi or Xen and host live backups of several VPS accounts. In the event of a failure, the backup could either be replicated to a new primary VPS account, or the domains could be pointed to the backup VM while the primary VPS is inoperable.
Most (all?) of the potential machines are:
4x Xeon 700MHz
8GB RAM
2x 18GB SCSI (RAID1) -- several TB of NFS are available nearby
Some bandwidth (say 0.5MB/s??)
Running either ESX(i) or VMware Server, I've been able to comfortably fit 1/2 dozen to 1 dozen mostly idle VMs. Obviously they'd be a little slow for primarily hosting a full set of live VPS accounts, but I think for backup, testing, or development they'd be a good blend of low cost with capacity.
With regard to the yesteryear CPUs, consider you have (effectively) a full 2.4GHz at your beck and call compared to (who knows how much) of a slice of a more modern CPU with most VPS systems.
So, thoughts? Am I crazy? Sound interesting? Should these be sent off and turned to molten metal+plastic? Obviously there's no technical reason they couldn't be installed w/ some generic Linux distro instead.
I'm not trying to sell/rent these, they're still sitting on pallets awaiting their fate, just soliciting feedback.

Why don't we use hosting account on other company to backup our server/vps?
there are few company around who offer lot of space an BW. I am thinking to use that account for backup our three VPS.
Is that secure?

I'm trying to understand how nameservers work. Here is what I would like to do. I'd like to have one nameserver point to my main hosting account and the second one point to another hosting account that I will call my back up host. Is that a proper use of the two nameservers or is that not a good idea for some reason?

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'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'?

Do website builders generally go with shared hosting or dedicated server? I mean, if they work on several websites would they get a dedicated server instead of shared? From what I understand through reading shared hosting is basically if you only have one website. So one with multiple websites would go with a dedicated 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?

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.

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?

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:
