I just wanted to add some thoughts on this announcement. Michael has I think
underplayed the importance of this news, but I think this great news for
everyone that runs BlueOnyx. In fact, I would recommend anyone planning to
build a new BlueOnyx server to install Aventurin{e} first.
With Aventurin{e}, you get the ability to do server level backups. Other backup
tools out there do stuff at a vsite and codb level, which is still important to
do… but what about your custom tweaks and hacks in other parts of your server?
Aventurin{e} backup creates a full duplicate copy of every file on your server.
Its also easy to migrate/move a server. New hardware? No problem. Just move the
entire VPS to a new aventurine blade on new hardware.
New server builds take forever? Not with Aventurine. I just did a test install
of 5209R on my existing Aventurin{e} node that already has 13 other servers
running. It took less than two minutes to install from the latest template. Try
doing that from an ISO?
And what about the dark side of the moon? We all hate that time when you need
to reboot blueonyx, hoping it will come back. Instead, rebooting blue onyx
inside an Aventurin{e} console means you still have IP connectivity to the
console and you can get back on your server a lot quicker.
Those are just a few items that I wanted to share. This will be a big win for
all Blueonyx users…
Greg
Absolutely spot on – I have never understood why anybody running BX for
anything other than home use doesn’t run on Aventurin{e} … even before it was
free.
It has saved my a* many a time – even when I have had to pay Michael to repair
broken VPS from the CLI. ☺
This is a major gift to the community.
Colin
