OVH

[ImSorryGoodBye]

Hey this is just a Pointer to ALL server owners who want to go to a dedicated server. DON'T GO TO OVH. I was awoken 8 am with an email saying my server had a fault and that they were fixing it. Well they did! They Deleted everything! Absolutely everything right down to every single configuration file! Every website file

Hey have a look at my dedicated folder

So this is just a pointer to never think these big company's will have your back there just hungry bastards. Apologize for the language


Thanks

If you want a reliable backup, then you shouldnt use the same host for your backup too. If they can lose all the OP's files, then i dont think they would have much problem, loosing a backup too.

Diffrent host and daa center. Then have the VPS pull the data off the dedi. Not the other way around, so that if the dedi does get hacked, there are no scripts that have access to it. I think time4vps are also using RAID6. So even if your dedi and VPS storage fail, you still have your data. On 2 other HDD's

The issue was almost certainly out of their control. Have you seen their storage arrays? It's huge, the backup space is definitely reliable. I utilize every one of mine. Backing data up from OVH to Time4VPS (since you mentioned them) would be horrendously slow. OVH to OVH backup space is 110MB/s (1gbit full), OVH to Time4VPS is <8B/s (<80mbps)
