They could use Rsync ....
And a little personnal experience:
On a Xeon box ( shared ) I have one of the resellers that has a car tire client. He doesn't have a site . Server is running great till early november.. it then starts overloading on the CPU ( like 20 times the usual load ) causing lag and crashes. I myself had to wait many minutes before ssh connects if it didn't time out.
Winter tire season here starts early november.
After investigating ( and thinking first hat it was a client upgrading too many Awstats at the same time ), I realized that the server was affected always around the same time ( 16:00 ). It so happens that the client had over 500 retail stores checking inventory and placing orders thru his mysql database on my box. The warehouse was checking and printing orders every 5 seconds, and at 16:00 was rebuilding the whole database ( from scratch ).
After talking to him, I told him he needed a ded box, and that it would also crash unless it was really upgraded.
He took that account to another mainstream well know host for 4.00/month. 3 days later, he is kicked out and calls me ... I set him up on a ded (2 xeon 3.0 ghz / 8 megs memory ) .. and it is running fine.
This unlimited shit from hosting companies at a low end price ( read Dreahost, Sevrage and so on ..) is a sucker catch ...
Even on a normal host, if you have 500 gigsa month, it is exoected that that bw will be used OVER the month, not on one single day ...
Anyway good luck to all ....
