Offsite vps backup

[XSLTel]

Hello,

on SolusVM servers :
tell your provider to execute this for your VPS:
Backup :
vzdump --stdexcludes --compress --quiet VEID <-- Change VEID to your VPS ID

Restore :
vzdump --restore /vz/dump/vzdump-VEID.tgz

I use this to backup/restore my clients VPSes

Highest Regards

He clearly states he doesn't want to implement any backup solutions. That is why I am looking for something my self.

I guess this can't be done so I would be best to run whm backups and have them stored on a remote vps. If I bork the vps I can always do a clean install of the os and that will get me back to square one and then do a whm restore.

I see, OK then your best solution is to backup > upload to remote FTP > broke your VPS > reload OS > restore backup

Ok then what is the best solution for a remote ftp. I need cheap and storage am not sure at this time my vps has 100gb but surely don't need that.

Would shared hosting work or would a vps be the best

Cheapest would be a file host like fileshare, filesonic, hotfile.

You can ftp to them. Just do not advertise the links and there should be no problems.
