Backups

Unknown

How often do we back TOTSE up? In the event of a massive fail, I don't really want anything to be missing.

Well, back on the old host I used to backup the DB from time to time. But I have been looking at some options. The cpanel that we use also has a backup option. I guess I should make one backup now and the add some other queues.

What effect does backing up have on the server? Does it cause slow downs/inaccessibility or anything like that? I think we should take regular backups to ensure everything is recoverable.

Not exactly, since this server is way faster than [&Zm/&T2] it can handle the extra work. Hell, we're like running CMS/Forums and it's not showing any signs of load. I am using Cpanel to make a backup [Complete Site backup] After that I will Google a bit and add a script or make manual backups for the forum and cms and then move them to my HDD or or a remote server. [or both]

Awesome. Plus, we can always have the older backups automatically pruned so we don't clog up your drives with ancient backups.

Ya keep three of the most recent backups and that should be enough in case something happens.
