    How to backup / restore VPS on new platform

    I think HyperVM was the last control panel for VPS on x10. LXAdmin/kloxo was an option similar to webmin/virtualmin that was only compatible with 1 particular pre-configured distro of centos 5 which was about 3GB when installed but maybe this is just a nameske tbh. but I think the host-in-a-box...

    How to backup / restore VPS on new platform

    Let me put this into context. Run 5 commands and have lammp setup and ready to take multiple virtual servers and all the users/ groups / domains you can throw at it. ZERO config or edits required. Backups do cover dom/sub domains,, accounts, settings but are not a "full backup / restore" like...

    VPS Migration

    I never used lxadmin or centos for that matter so the security issue was not going to effect me? i dont know how this stuff works tbh. I also do not use the vps manager often, but the features I did use are no longer available to me and the new manager is not very user friendly with needing to...

    VPS Migration

    Ok I have been using the solaris vps management for about 2 weeks now and I have to say I think it is terrible compared with hyper VM. Anyone who thinks it is better. What is better about getting ZERO feedback on commands being executed? NO Key management aka forced to use passwords to initial...

    How to backup / restore VPS on new platform

    I have not had a lot of success with virtualmin. In part because the backup features are quite elaborate and I probably should do some reading. I also have not been able to properly figure out how to do a full restore. If I try to use the backup file created by the vps control panel I get...

    Backups

    Yes, but not frequent enough Backups are essential for me, but restore is more important. I have much to learn with linux and make silly mistakes and having to redo all that I had previously done, replace and reconfigure is a real bind and a big waste of time if I can backup, experiment...

    VPS Migration

    my migration took just a few minutes also and was able to get 'stuck in' straight away via shell access. I would describe the new platform as a lot simpler, but that is in part due to there being less features available which I never used anyway in hypervm. The only thing I do not like is the...

    How to backup / restore VPS on new platform

    You can login to the VPS Control Panel and 'Create Quick Backup'. This will create a file in /panelbackup on your VPS. /panelbackup/backup_tar.gz Maybe not much good to you, but I did figure out a way to either use this file or create other more versitile backups that can be scheduled pretty...

    Thanks, I will give it a try, but since I can connect as root without using my ***vm access I think I will just do that. The history is already available to me using the arrow keys. Ok I tried it root@localhost:/# screen -ls There is a screen on: 25958.pts-2.localhost (02/14/10...
