gsvideo023 Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Let's say tomorrow the datacenter gets hit by an asteroid and I lose the contents of all the servers. If I made a full backup of the site folder in the primary server and the storage server on a disk of mine, could I if needed simply paste them into two new servers and have them up and running without difficulty? Surely the answer is no, and I would like to figure out how to make a no-frills backup that is ready to deploy if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Yes, normally you extract files from backup on a new server and then follow this guide: Please note you also need database backup, which may be included into you main site directory under /admin/data/backups as a part of KVS backup archive. Then you also need to import SQL from backup archive into a new database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsvideo023 Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 (edited) Just to avoid misunderstandings: I rsync on my local disk /var/www (excluding /admin/smarty/cache ,/admin/data/engine, /tmp) both primary and storage. In case of server failure I setup both servers with requirements you provide on your docs (nginx, php, mysql, and all other environment software needed), upload to /var/www, restore mysql db with same user/pw and backup, and ultimately follow this. Is this correct? Edited July 4 by gsvideo023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Yes, should be possible to restore in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
