Good ping time from my main VPS

Squid and Samba ... that's an interesting usage ;)

I use squid to test things when I need to use a different IP address, as I'm static at home and work, and Samba was set up as I had my other VPS mount it for cpanel backups, but I've got rid of that server now, so will be turning it off.
 
What process/script are you using for backup? I'm currently using rsnapshot - but wanting to close my sshd for root to forced-commands-only, which seems to stop rsnapshot working and I cannot find a solution. Thinking duplicity might be an option?

Rsync and scp. SSH is on a random port, firewalled off by IP and hosts.allow and hosts.deny enabled. Password auth disabled and key auth only allowed.

100 days uptime

I love Backupsy. I always give them praise here. Just remember that "uptime" only gives uptime at the server level, and doesn't take into account network issues, etc.. I've had very slightly different results using NodePing and Statuscake.

Server 1: 99.64% uptime
Server 2: 99.98% uptime
Server 3: 99.98% uptime

Guessing 2 and 3 are on the same physical node. Still absolutely great uptimes, and I've never had them offline when I needed them.

True, I realised I didn't actually have any monitoring in place for the backup VPS, so I've just set up a check in constellix.com (beta testing).

I've basically just seen very minor downtime, which I'm sure is just a temporary network issues....2 minutes here, 3 or 4 minutes there. But as I've said, not once has it ever been down when I needed it, and that's really the most important thing.
 
Hiya guys,

Just picked up one of their servers in the US to allow for Rsync with my uk server running my forum. Any clues on how to set up rsync to do this as have never used it before. Also any advice on setting up backupsy would be good :) I'm running their Centos 64 bit distro

Cheers :)
Paul
 
You can also ask Backupsy to configure your server with their server for $15-20. You pay once, and they do it for you every time you move servers, so you don't need to repay.
 
Get on it!!!

Can somebody explain me how you manage backups on Backupsy?
Does it download backups directly from WHM? (I mean automatic backups taken by WHM).
Does it allows you to select if you want to restore a database or files?
Which are the options you have regarding this?

I see when I sign up on Backupsy that I have to choose the operative system and none of them have an interface, do I have to use commands to restore and manage the backups?
