Backing up my data safely - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I have a couple of old computers at home and would like to turn them into servers for my friend's site, where they are all cluster together (I think this is the right terminology), so if one computer fails, then the other one kicks in. This way the server will always be up. I just want to know if this is possible?

Also, if one computer is corrupted or becomes infected, will they all be infected as well (since they are clustered)? Then what is the best way to back up my data?

thank you

There are many online data back-up solutions; Unitrends is one such service, Net stream is another. Some are region specific, but most provided automated regular back-ups and customer technical support.

Hello,

You can generate your account backup from cpanel >> restore backup option.

As a general rule, people who use their computer occasionally should be backing up their data on at least a weekly basis. If you use your computer more frequently, however, doing it daily is probably a good idea. Another variable is the type of data you store on your computer. Obviously, the important it is to you, the more important backing it up becomes.
