I was wondering what the best off-site solution for backing up a rails server

  • 0

I was wondering what the best off-site solution for backing up a rails server on a budget is. We currently have ~30 gb of data and expect it to grow to ~500gb in the next year. We want to use rsnapshot, duplicity, or rdiff. However, we want to do nightly backups and cost is an issue, we are on a low budget and cannot afford the ~$75 a month for S3 or ~$2600 as mentioned in previous questions. What do other people do and how do you implement it. I was thinking of using CrashPlan, but it seems like a mess to implement with rails. Is it easily done? Thanks in advance.

    i just set up rsnapshot and it was pretty easy, i dont se why that couldnt be used on any system, then you just need to find a ftp backup service that fits your needs, i use rsyncpalace their biggest plan is 500 gb and they support rsnapshot and all the other common backup methods… (no im not a rep for them)
