Thanks for all the replies (and confirmation Andy).

I'm not overly worried about Telehouse vanishing, so a "local" (to the Bitfolk network) rsnapshot is ample for the present. If heave comes to shove, I can always get a linux box somewhere else and rsnapshot both VPS' to there. From what I've read rsnapshot isn't really intended for "bare metal restore" any way.

Any how, I've installed rsnapshot and had a play (got the important data synced now) and it's all installed/configured and completed in under 5 minutes (less than 5GB, so not so much...)

Kind regards

As an aside, the new BitTorrent Sync is also touted as being able to sync folders with very large files, very efficiently. For large files it only transfers those chunks that have actually changed. 狢 have not had a chance to try yet.

I'm thinking that for the purposes of backup of the VA VPS, I can rsync the web folder over to a holding area on my personal VPS on a daily basis, and do more traditional "everything" backups (again, rsync) less frequently.
