Since discovering linux vservers I put every service into its own "install". Each install can be very lightweight and vservers only add about 1MB to ram usage (I don't run a separate init process), so very lightweight. The advantage is that it's super simple to backup each "server" and you can test upgrades by simply copying the image, fire up a new instance, test your upgrade, then burn it down again... Piece of cake to shuffle services between real machines also (preserving IP addresses also if that's required). Backups can be done very easily (make the /vserver dir an LVM disk) Good luck Ed W _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
