Best method of backing up manually? firewall/security question as well.
One small question, what firewall should I use on a node? I usually use CSF : http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html on all of my servers, but I am not sure it is wise to use this on a VPS node? Also, what is the best way to backup a server? Should I just RSYNC the root of the node? I'd like to save the configuration of the node itself as well. To reduce on re-setup time incase of a mechanical HDD/RAID failure. In the event of a failed HDD/RAID, would I just RSYNC the files back up to the server, and boot the server? Thank you for your wisdom OpenVZ .
Re: Best method of backing up manually? firewall/security question as well.
I just need something to backup once a week in case of catostrophic HDD failures or something. I have a remote server i'd like to download to via FTP, or RSYNC if I need to set that up. I'd just like your guys' advice!
