How can I back up? Should I get 2 vps one for back up? How can I acheive it with lower cost, but effective :) whfm 12-11-2011, 09:16 AM Always make backups, nightly if you can. Download them to your HDD, i wouldnt worry about using a VPS until you have more then money to spend on one. killerlipz 12-11-2011, 10:28 AM Hi Whfm.. Thanks for the info.. How can I download the back up to my hard disk? whfm 12-11-2011, 10:31 AM In cpanel or WHM, when you make the back-up it'll be called XXXX.tar.gz. Quite simple, jusrt click it and it will download. When you are hosting many sites, it'll be worth investing in a vps for remote back ups JFSG 12-11-2011, 10:42 AM You can prepare by signing up with a reliable host that isn't going to vanish tomorrow morning. That's the best form of preparation. ;) murah-banget 12-11-2011, 10:54 AM you may use any FTP backup service if you installed cPanel on VPS, or you can use Rsync backup service Evixo 12-11-2011, 11:03 AM What if my vps / reseller provider shutdown its business, how should I prepare ?

If not, then you can use rsync to write those backups to an external server. shvinod 12-11-2011, 11:38 AM Hosting with reliable provider is good idea and nightly backup will help you to be ready for the emergency (and those can happen with reliable providers too) |
