Using the backup facility on VPSs

poi · 13-08-2004, 04:24 PM

Hi,

Noticed the third partition mounted on /backup, do i just dump files into here and they are automatically backed up?

Thanks

Yep, cant remember how often im sure rob can clear that up though.

The files currently get dumped once every 2 days, I'm working on a solid custom backup solution for you guys though as part of the new administration interface.

Thanks.

Are they backed up to some kind of removable media?

I think i'll still backup my mysql databases externally anyway but it's nice to know.

Dumped to a NAS in the rack, although we are looking at mirroring that to another NAS in another DC

Another quick one on this, can i just create symbolic links in the /backup directory that link to eg. my web root and then all that will be backed up?
