Re: Backing up sites -beware of Hostpro

Hi,

Funny you say that - we had out site hacked a week a go and yet our host
(Hostpro) still hasn't done the restore (despite daily emails and one
international call!!! ) Its all well and good to say it is their
responsibility, but if they are unreliable (as we have found Hostpro most
definetly to be) you're better off backing up yourself.

Regards

Stuart

Hi Shannon,
It is NOT the webmaster's responsibility to do daily backups! The server
administrator should have a daily backup scheduled, ...
If you are concerned about 100% uptime, a better solution would setup
multi-homed servers (i.e. host your site(s) on two or more servers, possibly
geographically dispersed), where any changes are simultaneously written to all
servers. That way, if one server fails nobody knows (except the admin folks),
.. and you can always recover one from one of the 'clones'.
