Title: Restore VPS (disaster recovery)
Post by: cata77 on October 04, 2019, 09:23:14 AM
Hello,

I have a VPS running CentOS7 with CWP and I am using restic and rclone for backup-ing the entire VPS because I want to be able to restore it quickly in case of crash.
I have tried to simulate a full restore (on other VPS  which also run CentOS 7) but without success.
Is it somebody which tried a similar approach?

Thank you

Hello,

I'm not sure what wasn't clear from my previous email... The use cases is pretty straightforward:
1. Having a VPS with CWP find a way to full restore it in case of disaster( server crash, hacking, etc). By full restore I understand to be able to restore the CWP configurations  (webserver settings, security, databases, etc) and all accounts.
2. Clone a VPS with CWP on another VPS having same OS.

Similar question. Can i transfer data to another server with minimal settings? May be it possible to make CentOS  *.iso using the functions of operating system or panel?

What kind of virtualization the VPS's use? Have you tried using clonezilla (if that kvm/virtualbox etc)?
I would not try to clone settings, since there are many trouble could happened and every one should be checked.

Platform: x86_64 kvm
It is more reliable and fast to install CentOS>CWP> Restore from a backup?

You can clone the disk with FileZilla or ask to clone the VPS provider.
