Hi,
It depends on what control panel you choose for your hosting server. Plesk and cPanel has their own backup systems embeded in their panel, which you can use to take regular backups and restore.www.24x7servermanagement.com

Are you asking about virtual server or a dedicated server?

There is additional information that is needed; are you using virtual servers or dedicated servers? Are you using a control panel (e.g. cpanel, plesk, etc.)? If you're using a virtual machine there are a number of providers for backups. Veeam is a service that we use and if you are using VMware, I would recommend looking at their solution as a service provider. R1Soft is another solution that we use and they allow you to restore individual files through a cpanel plugin - R1soft doesn't discern if its a virtual or dedicated server. These are a couple of solutions that we are using. Good luck on your quest!

Using r1soft to backup entire server will be a good idea. In order to get account wise backup that can be easy restored on customer request, then directadmin backup needs to be configured too.

Hi,
For DirectAdmin user backup, refer to the link : help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=146
For server backup, you can create a manual cron to take a dump the /etc and /usr into a archive file for future references.www.24x7servermanagement.com

Server backups really depends on the amount you wish / ready to pay for backups. If you are going to start with a poor backup setup then I will suggest not at all provide any guarantee for backups. If you do provide backups then you should make your self clear about the terms and should monitor things on a daily basis.
Since you are using directadmin you can use the method Srv24x7 suggested. If you are looking for a shared hosting with lots of features, then i will suggest cpanel as most hosting are cpanel ones now a days and migrations for the clients from cpanel account to your server will also be easier. If you are using directadmin, I will suggest you to provide free migration assistance and get some good techs to provide support as well.
Another option is attach a new drive and setup a rsync based incremental backup system like dirvishTechs4GNU :: Remote Tech Support & Server Management

If you want on-the-fly restores, ask your host if they offer R1soft rental licensing and possible space along to go with it.
With r1soft/Idera, you are able to make on-the-fly restores at a block level. You can do an entire BMR of your server, or restore one missing file. It's very reliable and worth the cost just for the ability to reliably BMR in a pinch.Justin Yancey | Northern Virginia & District of Columbia | https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinyancey

The elephant in the room which no one has looked at is this: If you do not know how to conduct server backups already, you are not ready to run your own hosting business.
Sorry, but there it is. I would strongly suggest you start out reselling someone else's hosting before tackling the job of running your own.
If you're determined to run your own anyway then you need to practice your disaster recovery techniques... which means spinning up your own virtual servers (use VirtualBox) , setting up the control panel on them, run some backups of it - then try to restore it to a completely different virtual server. You will have to do this for real eventually. If you're not ready for it or if you choose not to perfect your methodology before then? Well.. yea we've all seen those "Help my server crashed and I'm out of business!" posts here before haven't we?Last edited by SneakySysadmin; 05-05-2015 at 07:44 PM.

You can use r1soft but make sure you have a good network speed.

Hello Ronimoi,
Owncloud is not a backup tool.
It is a self hosted open source file sharing software.It can be used for large number of file sharing.
But it is not recommended for a backup solution

Hello Ronimoi,
Sharing means you need to give something to others. Backup means keeping a copy of something to other location
How you share something to others if it is removed?
Please let me know?
Thanks,
Jaijo

r1soft or backup assist is best, but cPanel is ok, open WHM and Home »Backup »Legacy Backup Configuration , and create Remote FTP Host
(Remote FTP Backup Only).

Just as a reminder though, without the proper add-on installed and enabled not even r1soft will create backups of a hosting server you will actually be able to fully restore from.
Want proof?
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1472919
Just a couple of weeks ago - took 'em 4+ days to rebuild their databases, despite having r1soft images to start with. :|
If those of you who have posted in this thread about r1soft are not taking additional, separate measures to make certain your MySQL/PGSQL databases are backed up properly yer gonna be in a world of hurt trying to restore from those backups...Last edited by SneakySysadmin; 05-06-2015 at 10:42 AM.
