Backup Servers Upgrade - Now

UH-Matt · 19th September 2007, 05:27 AM

We are currently working on our off-site backup servers to upgrade the software to a new version.

The new version we are installing is the version which will give you direct access to our offsite backups via control panel and your normal login details for a site.

We will be completing the upgrade over the next 2-3 days and producing documentation, we will then provide the documentation to you so you can begin to use the offsite backups yourselves as and when required rather than having to contact support to get files out of our off-site backups.

As a result if you do need backups in the next 2-3 days support may be slower than normal to supply those to you, due to the software upgrades which are ongoing during this period.

Thank you and enjoy this new facility!

I should add that we are also implementing a new MySQL addon for our backup servers.

As well as the complete disk backup we are now taking seperate verified MySQL backups direct from the MySQL server to our off-site backup servers.

More about the features/advantages of this seperate MySQL module can be read here:

R1Soft CDP for MySQL

It is the first high performance backup and restore product for MySQL and the only software to offer True Granular Restore for MySQL!
