OVH server backup to ftp storage

erasereraser Member

Hi

As i know many users on the forum have servers from OVH and as they offer free backup space i need some help to activate it and Compress and upload files to FTP Server

Comments

  • You will find it under Backup Storage in your OVH control panel. I used "Forgotten your password" function to get the username and login info.
    Then just use that info in your FTP software or in etc rsync or whatever to upload your files from your server.
    Remember that you will only have access to the FTP storage from OVH servers.

    What kind of OS do you run, and what are you taking backup of?

    Follow the screenshot : http://prntscr.com/emrwu2

    Use "Forgetten password" to get the password


    Once you got the password

    Name == FTP hostname

    ID== FTP username


    You can use tar or zip or bzip to compress and send to FTP. Meanwhile you can run a cron to schedule the compressed backup to FTP

    @myhken
    I use Debian as a OS and LFTP as client
    To be on the safe side id like to backup The whole system (Excluding 2 partition mounted on the Home dir)

  • Has no one an idea how to backup The whole system partition

    You could do a dd of the partition, I use NFS with my backup storage but that's a bit harder to setup

    what i nedd to know is if my approach is right

    1 booting into rescue mode

    2 Connect to the ftp backup server using LFTP

    lftp -u username,password -p 21 ftp://ipaddress

    3 start backup with:

    put "| dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip -c" sda1.img.zip

    so did i forgot something?

    thanks
