it shows this error for all files inside the /mail/ directory. Any idea what's wrong? The restore process is still running, haven't gotten past this yet.
I downloaded a /home directory backup in Cpanel > Backup. If I restore that backup on another server, would it delete all existing files under that account before it is done restoring?
I want to make sure cause there is an existing website on that account.
Backing up a server is obviously very important. Lets say I do a daily rSync backup and eventually my server HDD crashes, I know it isn't just a 'one click' job to restore my backup but what is it necessary to do in order to carry out a complete and effective restore back to how it was?
A step-by-step 'tutorial' on restoring an rSync backup would be helpful not just to me but to many 'would-be' server administrators.
The only backup I could get from crissic was my hypervm backup...
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to just restore this backup on a new VPS and have the code and mysql back to life? At the moment i've looked into the backup and can see the html files and the mysql database files.
How can create backup fron an openvz vps and resote on another openvz based server?

My VPS server was hacked.
Hosting can not find a valid backup to restore.
I have a rsync backup of /home including all accounts.
Now, I thinking the best way to start recovering.
The VPS will be a fresh setup...
I have created a addon domain using cpanel.
I would like to restore awstats from prevous host (normal account) to 'addon domain' (domain2-addon.domain.co.uk).
My backup awstats:
awstats.domain.co.uk.conf
awstats122005.domain.co.uk.txt
awstats052005.domain.co.uk.txt
etc.
need to restore it to addon domain? but addon domain is setup under domain2-addon.domain.co.uk
so i have to rename each file like awstats.domain2-addon.domain.co.uk.conf etc?
I have inherited a server that has somewhat non-standard config, e.g. NFS mount and lighthttpd. I don't have a handle on all the way it is setup quite yet.
So my question is: If I rsync backup the hard disk to an offsite backup, then in case of a crash, can I restore the whole thing (again using rsync) without any tweaking necessary (which I may not be able to do). In other words, would the webserver start working without any tweaks?
I need to get the h3ll away from Godaddy, fast!
However, my site has a large MySQL database (200 megabytes) and it's impossible to backup or restore via phpMyadmin. Godaddy has a feature on their control panel, where you can restore/backup your MySQL database to a special diretory on your web http file space, which you can upload/download vis FTP. I use this alot.
Is there any other web hosting company that offers such a feature? I haven't seen this anywhere except on Godaddy.
As to why I need to get away from Godaddy:
Basically what they did was, my site was getting too much traffic (even though it's still well under Godaddy's advertised limits for that plan)... so they sent me an email that says:
"Your site is using too much server resources. We have moved you to a new server to protect our other customers. Please identify steps to reduce your site traffic and contact us."
They moved my site to what is, apparently, a punishment area (Godaddy Hell) where all the high volume sites go. It is so extremely slow, my site might as well not exist... it is inaccessible to my visitors for all intents and purposes.
I've virtual dedicated server with goDaddy and i need to upgrade the server Operating system from Fedora Core 4 to Fedore Core 6 and for which i need to backup my site. I am usually doing like this.
1. make a tar ball of all the files and ftp to my local Fedora core 7 desktop
2. Running MySQL administrator from my local Fedora core 7 desktop and connecting to my site database server and finally saving the .sql file.
Now i need to go for upgrading operating system on the hosted server and i would like to make sure whether i'm doing the right way for backing up my server. Will i be able to restore back my site?

I have a corrupted VPS, and have some mysql databases on it.
I want to backup databases and restore them on the new server.
Cpanel service is down on the vps and I cannot transfer accts.
Is it possible to do so ?
1- Zip or Tar the username folder in /home dir.
2- zip or tar the database name in /var/lib/mysql folder
Either by SSH or File manager trough HyperVM
Then transfer files some where safe...
When vps is rebuilt, restore the archives and databases to
the folders I have backed up before rebuilt.
There are also some accounts on a terminated vps that there is only an image of the vps available so, I only can tar files using a jailed shell account, move to the new vps and untar them.
how to do it and avoid database problems.
I just found out the other day that all my website files have disappeared.
I emailed Servage who said it was a hardware failure.
I don't have a backup as they never advised me to.
They have said they have their own backup but they will NOT use it as it would restore over other people's accounts.
Why can't they just restore it to a different server and copy?
I am fighting them on this, they didn't even tell me there had been a failure.
Would anyone happen to know the commands to restore a master backup file via command line on a hypervm master node?
