If your server FAILED--do you have a backup?
 

Tape?

DVD/CD?

How much and how often do you back up?

i back up 500 gigs every few months or so to tapes..

You personally or is that part of a comprehensive maintenance plan with your host?

I backup everything on a remote box (diffrent hosting provider). Databases on 2 boxes even.. call me paranoid.

Ah and isprime makes a tape backup too...

me personally

they got me covered like a glove:glugglug

Nice, you must have a fat pipe or fiber in your office?

Does that cost extra? or bundled with all hosting plans?

2 Matox 250 gig "one touch", One backs up my server, the other backs up the back up. I am thinking of getting a third so I can back up the one that backs up the back up.:uhoh

I backup everything on a drive in office:thumbsup

no extra

nope, no backups...if all is lost, do it again, only better.

Very zen approach

I just hate to imagine how long it would take me to redo a few 100k html pages :winkwink:

yes
Veritas 80Gb tape backup
daily

I have a separate dedicated server for backups.

No you're not being paranoid, I learned the hard way twice.

:(

Yep. Periodic backups.

I backup daily to a second harddrive... and my server also comes with 40 GB of remote storage on another computer which I backup to weekly.

Although, anything hosted with us is automatically backed up. :glugglug

that reminds me i have to backup some stuff.
thx

always have to have a back up.

For backing up your server, we normally use rsync, rdist along with some custom
cron jobs and scripts we designed for the purpose. We have tape silos as well and
other brand name software, however for most people the rsync works just perfect and it's cheap.

We also do NFS mounts to central disk librarians (a server filled with a huge raid array) and backup stuff that way too. This way your system appears to have another hard drive installed in it, but it's really on the private network we set up for it.

Incidentally,
If you are in need of a server to backup to, we can set you up cheap!
We will configure the backup services for you at no charge when you get your backup or dedicated hosting server with SplitInfinity.

you never hosted with isprime before? They've got everything covered. Even if you don't ask:) They even fix my scripts when I get some exotic errors.. insane!
