Thought about taking backups of my server, starting with once daily. what do you guys recommend and how much does it cost you? Im guessing if you have over 1tb worth of data on your website, will cost a lot to backup

Between the backing up that my host (TechieMedia) does and my own backups my site data is protected in about 4 different ways.
I burn a disk every 6 months or so containing a complete copy of every web site I've ever made.
I save all of it to an external drive and update/resave everything on there regularly.
And I keep all my sites backed up on my computer hard drive, always. I never delet after FTPing. Ever. I have no idea why others do, and over the years I've seen countless people on here complaining they lost all their data. If they had only listened to me.
I also have a 2nd computer that has all my stuff as one further backup.
Cost? The price of a few black CDs/DVDs and an external drive.
Unless you're talking constipation or basement flooding my policy is you can never be too backed up.Last edited by CDSmith; 08-24-2010, 11:19 AM.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

Are you telling me you have 1TB of data constantly changing, which needs to be backed up everytime?
Because if you have some smart catalogue structure, like content > may > update 1-10, content > may > update 11-20 and so on, it would be easy to back those up once or twice and then be good. Once on an external harddrive and once maybe at your host.
Backing up 1TB of data which constantly changes, like a big database of transactions or emails being sent in/out and new being created/deleted that's a totaly different story and comes with a much more advanced backup system.
depending on how much new, expensive or unrelacable data you have/get, once daily or once weekly is a good schedule to start off with.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't matter if he has to do it everytime or not. That is just time consuming. Most cloud based backup services charge on a per gig per month basis. So it is not based on what you backup each time, but how much total space you are using. Most of these companies have the technology to do 1 complete backup and then just backup the changes after that.Comment

Webair has a great backup plan.
Personally i set up amazon S3 and do incremental backups once a day on there for each server. Cheaper than any other backup solution out there and i know my data wont be lost.Tanguy 0x7a69 inc. Programmer/President/CEO

I see a lot of people using their 'host' as a backup..
I got screwed that way when my host went under, and just shut everything off...
3rd party backup would be interesting.. not sure how you'd do it on a huge 1tb site though..Comment

We actually offer a backup service to some of our clients. As many people here said pricing really depends on total size of the backups and how frequently / how much needs to be downloaded. Our service is pretty competitively priced with the other companies offering the same (or lesser) services but we can usually work out something a little cheaper for people since we don't really do all the bells and whistles we just focus on backing up your data and keeping it safe and sound. We also can do encrypted backups for those worried about pci compliance, etc..
If anyones interested, feel free to shoot us an email at sales [ at ] nlbackups [dot] com giving us a rough idea of what you actually need and we'd be happy to give you a quote / see if we can help you out.Comment
