Restore VPS (disaster recovery)

[cata77]

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

you would have to explain more about what VPS what hosting, errors, restore procedure etc

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.
