Hi All!

I had read with interest the thread a while back concerning virtual server
backups, and was wonder now that a little time has passed and there are
(maybe?) some different ppl on the list, what sort of backup system you
use?

In essence, I really see only two main possibilities: backing up on the
Hosting Server level, or backing up on the Virtual Server level.  Which
one do people tend to favour?

On the one hand, backing up on the Hosting Server level is easiest, but
what would you backup?  I would thin the normal things on the Hosting
Server (/etc, /var/log, /var/spool, mail, etc.), and then prolly either
the entire /home directory, or just the part of the /home directory where
the Virtual Servers are located.

On the other hand, backing up on the Virtual Server level would enable you
to specify only certain kei directories be backed up (/etc, /var/log,
/var/spool/mail, /home, etc.), as opposed to the *entire* server.

Thoughts?  Ideas?  Comments?
