Backing up your server
Is it posibile to back up your dedicated server to a Windows box? Can I back it up to my home comp? IS there anyway to image it once it is all setup to a windows box?
Thanks

You should be able to setup your server to create the backups, and FTP those to your computer. But you will need to setup your computer to allow your computer to accept connections only from the server.

you theoreticaly can, but any change that you'll make in the future you wont have it on the backup image. What if you get 1000 people in the meantime? Where will their accounts go?

I guess I was a little vague.. I would like to image the base install once secured. Then I can create the backup routines for the "users" and have them stored else where. maybe I just don't know what the heck I want to do
Wouldn't saving the base secure config seperate save on bandwidth while doing just user backups?
