Thumbs up Automated Backups

Greetings all,
I've just signed up for a standard dedicated server which has 2 hard drives and was wondering if it's posible to setup the 2nd hard drive to automatically create a backup of the first drive on a daily basis...

Your help is very much appreciated, all...

Default Re: Automated Backups

yes you can.. get support to mount the second drive as /backup then you can configure the backup in WHM -> Backup -> Configure backup

configserver.com will set that up for you included in their cpanel & mailscanner package if you get that... which we all highly recommend

Just to add, what I do is rsync the entire /backup partition to an off-site solution nightly. You really should consider keeping a copy of your backups in a place other than your server, in a datacenter that's not theplanet. I like bqbackup.com a lot (their service is better than their website).
