How do you backup your websites?

2 pointsby brockfalmost 15 years ago
I am looking to improve my company's website backup architecture to gain some comfort in knowing that my files/databases, etc. are safe in the event of hard drive failures, datacenter fires, etc.<p>I am a developer and I know I can develop a fairly decent system from scratch but I'd much not rather re-invent the wheel on a problem that every single one of us who rely on servers has had to solve.<p>So, what do you guys use for backup solutions? Custom or another company's product?

At work we use NetApp. It does hourly incremental and nightly full backups. The backups are replicated across 2 datacenters. It's pretty expensive, but it's the only sane way of managing backups for 200+ sites across too many servers to count.

I use Tarsnap to backup the Tarsnap website. :-)
