How to make WHM send to remote host via frp account

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?
keep a local and remote backup of certain subscriptions or at least have a full server backup on FTP.
I have a livedrive.com reseller account which allows be to quite cheaply add 512GB of remote storage accessible through SFTP, FTP and WebDAV. I created this partition and added it as a server-level FTP repository in Plesk 12 (latest build). During testing I added a firewall exception for traffic on the FTP IP-address and figured that I had to put the FTP repository in passive mode to properly connect.
After setting this up I ran a configuration only backup to test if everything was working properly. The backup was created properly and can be accessed through the FTP as well: success!
My second test was running a full server backup through the manager. The ±40GB file was created properly (I could see my disk usage increase and decrease through new relic monitoring) and supposedly transferred to the FTP repository according to Plesk.
When I look at the FTP or the Plesk Backup Manager both indicate that the full server backup is 0kb in size.
After this issue I figured: I really don't care about a full server backup, I mostly care about a specific set of subscriptions that have new content on a daily basis and need to be backed up properly as well. Those subscriptions are already on a daily or weekly backup scheme that places backups on the local repository.
What I would eventually like to do is create daily or weekly backups on the local repository and create weekly or monthly backups on the FTP repository for those specific subscriptions, but unfortunately you cannot (by default) setup Plesk to automatically backup to local and remote based on different or even the same intervals.
And this is the more important question: How to be able to create/setup a backup automation that keeps local and remote backups for the same or different intervals? Either through the Plesk interface, a plugin or a script?

Update:
Just tried running the same server wide backup, but this time as a multivolume backup. This resulted in the following error:
ERROR: () Can't upload file 'backup_info_1505301327.xml' to ftp. Error code: 1

I have a problem with the server time, when I reboted the server, the time change 4 hours back. Only the time changed not the time zone.
To solve this, I have to sync the time from WHM and then it get the correct time.
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 really had a hard time in setting red5 on my VPS in /usr/local/red directory, I have done all the installation steps but still the port tester does not show success, I am using centos5 with cpanel installed, i have the installation steps from red5 forum but pretty much unsure what needs to be done after installation
1. I have only iptables installed and even if I remove iptables the port tester does not work properely
I cannot find a suitable forum for this query so here goes on this one!
I am doing a charity site as a voluntary exercise. They currently host with Eclipse who have the Zeus server (site developed in Frontpage).
This is not an open source server. Thing is, what are the issues of say developing on my loacal machine (apache or IIS5) and having the remote being Zeus. I use Dreamweaver 8 for developing.
I would of thought this does not matter as the server technology is transparent and down to configuration files. The directory structure both ends can be the same.
Am I right to go ahead and not worry about this?
I have an AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000+ machine thats running Linux - CentOS.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good server/hardware monitoring script or app that will allow monitoring of the following items in real time. Also I'd like to
log and view the historical data. A script that stores this data in mysql database would be ideal.

I am really thinking of upgrade my dedi server, but since its from a IDE disk to a SATA, I can´t move the IDE to the new system.
Is there a way to backup the server disk to your
local computer? FTP ?
My server works fine like expected, but isn't uploaded to ftp. It was in 11.0.9, same after upgrading to 11.5.29.
The ftp repository in plesk shows a manually done older backup, so ftp connection seems to be ok.
In ftp repository settings I get an error, if I try to safe anything, ftp server, user and password are correct, manual ftp connection is working fine.
The error is:
Code:
Fehler: FTP-Verbindung fehlgeschlagen. Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre FTP-Einstellungen.

I've generated migration files on a source server that runs plesk11.5..I've transfer these files to my new server (plesk 12).I've logged into plesk on the new server, go to migration tool and create a new migration using local files.with chrome dev tools. i can see the following a post request is sent to :
/plesk/ server/migration/start/ the response is a redirection ( http status 303 , location = /admin/backup/restore/type/import/id/migration )a
After several attempts to this url I've got : admin/backup/restore/type/import/id/migration net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS..is there a way to restore the data using the command line ?
I have recently upgraded Plesk Panel from 11.0.5 windows to 12.0.18 MU#46 windows.

How much local disk space is necessary for a full backup of 240 GB data to a remote ftp?
I have 314 GB free on my local disk, but this is still not enough.
The backup process is 100% after round about 4 hours, according to Backup Manager.
But there are still tar processes until the disk is full.
Neophyte question:
I have a dedicated server and have backup configure set up to do daily, weekly and monthly. What I can’t seem to find in the backup configure (using WHM) is where to set the TIME you want the backups to begin? I know there must be some way to designate what time the backups start and it is probably right under my nose, but being a relative newcomer to the world of dedicated servers, I can't find it. Can someone point me to the right location to set the backup time?
i have a really high load (100!) at backup time
i'm using cPanel and i'm using Incremental backup option!
is there any solution?
I have a linux dedicated server and use BMU (BackMeUp) for create cpanel full backup.
But this cant create remote backup for me. BMU use "ncftp" for this. and i see following error about this problem:
Time: Fri May 16 03:38:17 2008
The following list of files have FAILED the md5sum comparision test. This means that the file has been changed in some way. This could be a result of an OS update or application upgrade. If the change is unexpected it should be investigated:
/usr/local/bin/ncftp: FAILED
So, im install "ncftp" manually, but issue not resolved and i havent remote ftp backup too!
How can resolve this issue?

I have already developed shell scripts to automate account management, add/delete users, change quota, passwords etc. I am now working on web interface which will be used for managing the accounts, testing some free scripts and writing tutorials.
So far, my scripts can create chrooted (jailed) accounts with some basic shell commands.
The same disk space is also configured in samba and rsync daemon. Customers can use ssh/sftp or simply mount it as a network drive. Free utilities for Windows users (like deltacopy) work just fine with rsync daemon. Script can also modify iptables-based firewall and allow only certain IPs to access the server but I am still working on that part.
It takes about 10 seconds to create a new account and I have tested it on CentOS server.
I'm thinking about buying a shared hosting plan with lots of space. Anyone do backups to remote ftp server instead of rsync? I was wondering if it was possible to configure ftp in such a way to only transfer files that are NOT present on the remote ftp. This way, it doesn't overwrite existing files and thus save on bandwidth. Is it possible to transfer an entire folder with a ftp command, I know the mput command is for uploading multiple files to another location. Lastly, what are the advantages of rsync over ftp besides saving banddwidth and trannsferring only files that were changed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI noticed that when "WHM Remote Backup" backs up my websites via ftp, the tar.fz archives are incomplete, meaning the backup is pretty much useless. I have tried with both PASV on and off and it still persists.
Any ideas why?
Also, what is the command to force the whm remote backup to run?
What exactly do you do when you take a remote backup through resync?
For instance, if i signed up with say bqbackup and started resyncing and taking backups, would i be copying all the data from my server to the remote server or is it possible only to copy the cpanel backups made daily/monthly/weekly to the remote space?
Also, when the resync runs everyday, does it replace the old files or does it create a new copy of everything that has changed?
