A simple way to backup Linux servers with the help of FTP

• mattbillenstein 12y ago
  Why on earth are you using ftp in 2015? rsync over ssh is a much much better solution - and you're not sending data in the clear over the wire. And why even provision a backup server? Just sync it all to AWS S3 - 2 cents per gig per month...

    Look at the submitter's submission history -- every submission points to bitcalm.com and before "repor" there was another account that did the same thing.

      If you do a search for bitcalm, you will see a number of users that were created just to post these blog links. Each one only has postings to bitcalm blog entries, and no other comments.

        Yep. I noticed the previous accounts doing the same thing so I just automatically flag them all when I see them.
