The situation is that the dedicated server provider advertised in-house backup services, and we made our decision to sign up with them based on that. After we had our server mostly configured and inquired about the back-up service, they told us they weren't offering it at that time. They continued to keep the advertisement up for months during this period.
We tried a rsnapshot-based solution with purely-local back-ups, but something about it wasn't able to handle the size of our workload. I think it probably makes sense now to create an archive of all non-restorable disk contents (e.g., /home, parts of /etc and /var) and have an admin download it. Can anyone recommend the best command to use to do this? (The recommendation should include the exact paths that should be backed up.) Luckily, /home *almost* has enough space to hold all current disk contents uncompressed, and it will definitely fit with compression. _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
