FTP Backup space not available at iWeb ?
Hi guys,
I currently run a dedicated server at netelligent.
I'm currently evaluating the possibility to order a "SmartServer" at iWeb.
But there is a drawback, no "FTP Backup space"
Weird, OVH, Netelligent and nearly all hosting providers I'm aware offer FTP backup space.
They don't. They offer R1soft technology that backup the entire server.
It is not what I want. It would force me to order the same amount of storage space as used on the server. I just want to backup some files.
Would prefer ftp backup onsite for faster transfer.
Do you know if there is a way for me to get that ?
I pm atchooo, maybe he will be able to do something with his magic wand. ;-)

Hi:
you do not have to backup all of the server, you can order R1soft to backup certain folders/files. I think iweb has 10GB/$15 or so.

Iweb backup services are very costly $100 a month for 120GB. You would be better with the someone like BQinternet.

As mentioned, why not consider BQ Backup ... or hell if you wanted to go the cheap route, get a dedicated server from DataShack for like $35 and do it that way sans redundancy.

Slingky did you open a ticket about this? Let me know if you need any help. It is R1soft but just contact sales and they can get you sorted out. Atchoo is a busy man but I can certainly help.

You can rather setup another FTP backup space in another location that way your data will remain more secure and stable.

I am wondering if there are many providers providing a FTP storage space with a server as such? Seems there is OVH and Nettelligent but others? BQBackup seems like an interesting options but I can also try to see what we can do.
