Hey Guys,
Im quite new here, and a server noob. Well, i been reading these forums/website here and there in the past, and purchased couple of vps deals from here :)
For starters, im a Linux noob, so every time with a vps i install something similar to virtualmin and manage everything through that.
Im at a point where i need to make a decent production server. It doesnt have to be amazing, so a stable vps should do it. Havent decided which to use yet, but thats on my todo list (i currently have 2 vps's from chicago vps, and urpad i think for my dev work hosting/testing).
So the question is, when i setup the new production vps, i would need a decent backup system. I know virtualmin can easily plug in and do automatic backups etc. So do you guys have any suggestions on where is a good place to do backups? Any cheap services? Frequency of backups?
Main things that would be hosted on the server are going to be wordpress websites and git/svn repos. So i doubt they will be very big. Currently i have couple of 100 mb's, but im sure this will grow. And i do wish to host my own dropbox equivalent (owncloud) to manage my projects etc too. If/when i do, this will start getting decently big.
So what are your recommendations? Can i just buy one of those cheap website hosts (that claim to have unlimited bandwidth/storage etc) and use its ftp as a backup server (might be against their t&c's though)? Or is there a better option?
Thanks in advance...
