Yes, we do have automatic full backup on a daily basis. We have weekly/monthly backups too.

On occassion, we also copy backups across all servers just for extra redundancy.

@ Jong

Hey, it was actually yours. I read your blog thru my feedreaders so I wasn’t able to double-check.

@ Alfie

Yes, we have had our share of mishaps in the past and that gave us the lesson to make extra redundant backups. Likewise, we also advise clients to do their own manual backups on top of ours.

@ Bimbo

Yup, it’s automated via cron job.

@ The Ca t

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

may automatic back-up ako.

now i back up religiously. how do you back up the entire home directory using cron by the way?

thanks!

hehe actually two hosting companies experienced that at the same time hehe. one who host my blog and the other one is also a pinoy hosting company… grrr i might try ploghost when mine expires.

Recently, while looking for a good web host (aside from bloghost - promote,promote), I was end up reading a support forum of one of a Philippine base hosting company. Members are fighting back against the webhost who, “unintentionally” lost their database after a long data center server down time.

I also have a, not so, bad experience with ploghost (sorry abe, just want to be transparent) last March or February when I lost a small portion of my database after a datacenter server down time. But that was long time ago and thanks God, it never happened again. Ploghost for me is still one of the best webhost.
