QUOTE (tidol)
I have one question concerning the backup. I know that whm has an option of daily backups, but where i could store that backup so as to be safe if one of my disk(packet has 2x120GB) fail?
thank you in advance!
If you want to be safer, you should also keep an off-server backup. In rare cases, something could happen to your server that would take out not only your primary but also your backup drive -- datacenter error, power supply failure, drive controller failure, cracker exploiting your server and wiping your drives etc..
Your choices would be:
1.) get a package which includes NAS backup space.
+ quite affordable and good performance in my experience
- not 100% reliable in terms of uptime, so can be a pain to use
2.) purchase new disksync
(unknown + / - as I've not used it yet)
3.) purchase a lowend / closeout server elsewhere or purchase backup space elsewhere (e.g. at gnax) to have a geographically separate backup in case of natural disaster. I think the SM datacenters are far enough to be safe, but some prefer to have a backup in another state in case the worst happens.
