Just "testing the waters" at this juncture, making sure that our plan isn't going to make Andy angry or anything like that.

I have two VPS's with bitfolk; my personal one and one that I am donating to the virtual airline I am currently president of (on separate servers). 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.

Is this feasible/considered an "OK" thing to do (Andy)? Would I be better off raising a support ticket to have the backups done by Bitfolk (assumes you're not already, o'course)?

Kind regards

I do something similar but use BackupPC on a server that sits in my office. That way the backup is definitely in two different physical locations. I assume the upside to what you suggest is that your data won't actually leave the Bitfolk network.
