3rd time, really? Sorry no useful post, im still amazed...

I am doing backups by hand when I have the time. I still have one from 2015-05-17 if that is interesting. If you give me login details I can fix up the backup scripts too.
Gernot, your email is still not working, anywhere else I can send the backup?

Hey Moru,
I´m a noob on how that exactly works, but by all means I would like to know more.
Like, could I buy an extra drive and do a daily backup of the forums myself?
Is that possible? If so, can you point me to some info on how to make it happen?

[Moru]

No, you need admin access for that. Just can't restore without ssh access to the server.

[Schranz0r]

The easy way:

Do a cronejob every day , maybe at 3am, ob the Mainserver and zip the forumfiles/SQL-Files.
Rent a cheap VNServer and to da Cronjob at 3:30am and download the Backup.

I think I pay for someone to set it allup for me. There's no way I can get this working alone. I thought that is a job of my server provider.

What are you paying per month/year for your site hosting? I have a server from a company called Penguin-UK and cannot fault their service, you can even set up full backups and everything directly at what ever frequency of backup you want. Give me a PM if you want more details, I am more than willing to help backup and move the site if you want. I have moved some fairly big sites with large SQL databases in the past

1+ for money  if it's needed.

I'd happily pay a monthly fee to ensure the forums remained intact (or as good as).

also, I had experimented some instability today, about some hours ago.

If its a Windows server, its might due Windows Update thing :-). Im diddent notice anything.

[Moru]

People still run those things as servers? :-)

[MrTAToad]

People try to run Window servers..
