| Posted by build-a-host, 04-11-2009, 09:35 PM | | Hello all, I am in urgent need of some space to store CPanel backups for my clients. I don't need any control panel or databases or anything, none of the bells and whistles, I just need some space, some bandwidth, and an FTP account to transfer the backups automatically.
I need:
90-100GB Disc Space
50-100GB Bandwidth
1 FTP Account
Uptime is not a major issue, and neither is the server specs, I just need a place to store my backups for my clients. Please post your offers for requirements. I am going to setup the backups to automatically transfer them from my servers, to the backup server using FTP, so that shouldn't be a problem.
As for a budget, I am not sure what this type of thing usually goes for but so just post your suggestions for a cheap backup only package. I won't be hosting any websites on it, so the only bandwidth it will use is the transfers, and it will not require mch CPU at all!
Thanks in advance

| Posted by build-a-host, 04-11-2009, 10:34 PM | | Thanks, I checked them out and their pricing is too confusing, so I don't want to deal with that. Basically I just need a shared hosting account with a lot of disc space and bandwidth, and none of the bells and whistles.
There used to be a placed called BBQ something or other that did rsync backups but, I cannot remember the address.

Although not mandatory, backup solutions are far more efficient when close to or in your network.

1. They are slow
2. You might save more $$ by getting NAS or SAS backups at the DC where your server is. if you ask your host I am sure they offer something like this.
3. Get another drive, this will speedup backups when dealing with cpanel backups of that size.
