That box has only one disk, which is inappropriate for most uses. Sure, they'll put up another server for you, but that's not the hard part; the hard part is restoring your backup. Until you are large enough to have redundant everything, mirrored disk, I think, is a must.
- zwetan 16y agoso ? there is a 100MB extern drive accessible via FTP, and rsync is your friend at the very worst, when your server is on a 100MBps link then it's dirt cheap (in time and money) to do the backup on the cloud
- lsc 16y agoif you do that, and you test your backup, and you are okay getting paged, waking up, following the procedure, then dealing with the half day of downtime, sure, that's fine. but a mirror is still a whole lot easier. it just keeps chugging through the drive failure.
