i run cpanel on centos,
and i backup all websites and system setting to the 2nd hd by whm's backup feature everyday,
i want to ask if any script or method i can backup all the files to another server in a period of time,
it may be a week or 3 three days...etc,
I want to back-up accounts managed by cPanel/WebHostManager to a remote server. I want to be able to restore to any of the last 7 days. I believe doing an incremental back-up each night can accomplish this best, saving both bandwidth and disk space on the remote server.
Using the back-up functionality built into WHM is appealing because WHM knows what files need to be backed up to do a full restore. However, WHM can't do exactly what I'm looking for either. I've been looking into using rsync as described in this document:

It looks becaue of the "hard link" capabilities of linux, rsync can be used to create what functions like a full back-up every night but requires a full backup the first day and then each day after that only the incremental changes have to be transfered. However, because I don't know what directories need to be backed up, I'm not sure how to implement an rsyc solution either. (BTW, I want to back-up everything necessary to be able to restore each account except the log files. So, that means MySQL, mail, config info, and whatever the user has uploaded)
What's the best way to do a remote backup? Right now I have them all being backed up to a 2nd drive on the server.
If I do a remote backup, is it just as easy to access the files and do a restore?
I am searching for some nice prices remote backup storage for one of my cpanel servers.
View 14 Replies View Relatedbackup service for my dedicated server that can do the following:
Take backups of the server without my laptop being involved when the backup takes place.
(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.
I have a 1GB MySQL database (compresses down to 300MB) and would like an automated method of backing it up to a remote server. Both accounts are shared hosting accounts (if it matters, both are running CPanel, no shell access on either).
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a VPS and about 140 accounts on it. I've also got cPanel and WHM installed. I'm moving to a new host, but the thought of having to move all these accounts manually really makes me lazy I have to go into each account and go to backup -> backup to remote FTP, and yeah..
Is there any way I can mass backup all of my accounts, or all accounts I select, to a specified FTP server?
I only have root access on my VPS, but not on the server I'm moving all the backups to..
i have a dedicated server with rapidswitch. Few days back all my websites stopped working, due to some reason which i was not able to solve.

I'm using Plesk 12.0.18 version with Windows 2012. I need to backup files to remote ftp server. Remote server configuration is Windows 2012 with IIS server. It works with ftp clients very well.
But, i have a problem about Personel FTP Repository. I open Personal FTP Repository Settings and write all boxes with true information about remote ftp server but it says "Transport error: unable to list directory: Curl error: Login denied".
Ftp server works fine with ftp clients and cpanel backups.
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.
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?
