Book Launch

How to do a vps backup remotely for free? Me and my partner launched an recruiting website together – we have good ties in the retail and hospitability industries and in six months from the official launch we managed to have our client base built nicely. For this we had a website developed – both graphics and engine customization. Our web programmer is in India and remained on contract to keep updating the website, but he keeps telling us to back the website (currently hosted on a virtual server) from our US office, since his connection is too slow. I learned how to do that over FTP, and I do it every day, but I plan to go on a 3 wks trip and my partner is not computer savvy, nor comfortable to do it on his own. Besides, were anything to happen while I am away, he would not have the patience to help Raj (the programmer) access the backups and put the server back if disaster strikes. I looked into remote backup solutions (my Dell laptop came with a free online backup account for 2GB), but it’s not good – we need to backup a MySQL database, the actual website files (PHP) and our shared calendar and address book, with all client and candidates names. It’s not a lot of data, but getting a paid account with regular backup providers it’s not good – not working on the Linux system installed on the virtual private server and definitely not able to backup MySQL databases. I read about special scripts and using the rsynch command, but that is way over my head and it still requires another server to store the actual backup data. How can I do this (even thought of doing some sort of daily e-mail to my yahoo account with the backup, but that sounds so unreliable I don’t even consider it anymore). Better ideas, anyone willing to share their experience?
I registered for a trial account with carbonite and managed to get that working on my laptop – backing up my regular office documents and quickenbooks, but the application does not work on linux servers.

Hello!
In your given context, it is quite difficult to do for free – you need to store scheduled backup of your VPS server and backup MySQL databases to a remote location so that your webmaster can access them and restore data unassisted in the event of a disaster.
If you have the patience to search on the internet, there are scripts able to do what you said about mailing backups on a schedule to a free e-mail address where your webmaster has access. If the archive is large, or fails to build properly, or anything else unexpected happens, it will be quite difficult to fix it though.
Alternatively you can try to register for a free account on http://www.vps-backup.com – you get 30 days of access to their client application and remote online service for vps backups, with 50gigs of disk space and linux/mysql features. When the trial expire the account remains live indefinitely (no purchase required), but restricted to 5gb and you might want to check with them what happens if you had more than that already stored on the server – I imagine they trim down your stored data somehow to fit in 5gb.
Once you register an account you can give your programmer the usrname and password, and he can access the files from their web page, restore to a new location or even use the client app to restore to a new server if needed.
Thinking of vps backup is a very reasonable thing to do – lots of businesses rely on the provider to handle their data and misread the t&c – even if your vps is backed up every night, it is most likely that the copies are stored in the same datacenter and prone to disaster. Besides, if a provider has thousands of Virtual Private Servers to backup each night, it becomes increasingly difficult to test individual vps backups for accuracy through an entire backup-and-restore cycle. This makes implementing a VPS backup solution critical to any insurance policy you want to have in front of your customers – not only that your business as usual will continue undisturbed if struck by a hardware fault, but also that your clients’ data is safeguarded with your company. Moving services to the cloud (and vps hosting can vaguely be assimilated to cloud services) does not mean data is safe and no vps backups are required, both on-site and off-site. Hardware redundancy solutions like cluster servers and RAID systems are not backup – they can improve or guarantee time, but not the data safety and integrity.
Hope this helps – all the best and enjoy your trip!

Maureen G. Mulvaney, better known as MGM, Amazon Best Selling Author of The Women’s Millionaire Club (http://www.TheWomensMillionaireClub.com) celebrates and honors the Marketing Genius of Denise Cassino.

“My original Book Launch of The Women’s Millionaire Club, was quite successful as my book became an Amazon Best Seller. The Challenge was that I spent hundreds of hours and tons of money figuring it all out.

I watched another author, also become an Amazon Best Seller, but she breezed through the process because she had a Secret Weapon–Denise Cassino.

I’ve learned my lesson–to create a Highly Successful and Profitable Book Launch and Internet Marketing campaign I hired Denise Cassino. You Should, too.” ~ Maureen G. Mulvaney, MGM

3. BLOG: Centerpiece of your campaign. If used properly, every blog entry links back to the owners web pages at least 3 times per entry.

Denise builds and maintains the blog, frequently adding content.

These Press Releases must be submitted to press release sites on the Internet for maximum exposure. Denise writes and distributes the press releases.

5. PRESS KITS: All authors, speakers and personalities need a Press Kit or Media Kit. This includes the persons photo/s, biography, and possible topics of discussion; if a book is highlighted, cover art, synopsis, reviews and a sample chapter are important inclusions. Denise creates and distributes the Press Kit.

6. VIRTUAL BOOK TOURS: Replace the in-person book signings. These are events on the Internet hosted by website owners and bloggers who each promote one leg of the tour by including info from the media kit, written interviews and more. These must be targeted to an audience receptive to the book genre. Denise arranges the Virtual Book Tours.

7. EMAIL LISTS: Help sell books and grow businesses. Opt-in pages lure visitors with the promise of something free—a report, a book, an eBook, etc. In exchange, the visitor must opt-in with his contact information. Denise creates the opt-in page and helps create the free item giveaway.
