Backup services

[MasterA]

Does anyone know any good backup services? I know there is Code Guard and Backup Machine. Anymore?

I think Code Guard is probably the best around.

I don't anymore besides CodeGuard. CodeGuard is the best out there.

http://backupsy.com provides good backup vpses. They have put their prices up recently though but you can get 40% off.

Your host doesn't provide free backups?

I've never really had the need to use any services. Usually I'll just have an automated backup sent to the cloud every night, and I usually take offline backups of my sites every few days or so. I suppose if you're a host, or have a massive web site, you could look at a service, but even some of the bigger forum databases really aren't that large.

They do but it's better to have extra backups just in case.

Thanks guys. 😀

I personally have never looked into backup services. I figure this is something I should change though. I'll take a look at Code Guard and maybe try it out, or something similar at least. Always good to have 'online backups' as well.

I use CodeGuard. It is the best for what I need it to do.

How do you send backups to the cloud? Is it via a script?
