Backup for VPS
by WhiteTiger from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AHJZ)
I have a VPS and a separate space accessible with FTP.
In case of problems I can only recreate the starting image of the VPS. I have no other tools, if not particularly expensive.
Being a VPS I don't have USB ports, tape or burners available.
I therefore have to make a backup via FTP and keep it updated automatically.
In case of problems I should just restore the starting image provided by the ISP and then restore everything I have saved at a given time of a certain day.
Which means backing up the ENTIRE server, including open files.
If then the backup also allows me to recover the single file or the single folder it would be the best.
What do you advise me to do?
