Psychz Networks offers dedicated servers with continuous data protection backup services that keep your data safe. Our disk-based data protection is for Linux-based systems, which can take backup monthly/weekly/daily/hourly basis. The backups are synced over the remote disk-based storage network and allow easy recovery.

We use R1Soft Server Backup Manager, which implements incremental backups performed at the block level, shortening backup windows and reducing disk space and network I/O. It also uses the Advanced Encryption Standard AES-256 so that your data remains safe and secure.

R1Soft is a paid service, and if you have not subscribed for the R1Soft Backup Manager service, you can use the Rsync command to backup your entire Linux system. Follow the steps given below

First, insert your backup medium (USB thumb drive or external hard disk). You can do so for your server by opening a ticket from your dashboard requesting the engineer to place a temporary storage device to capture your data. Now, find the drive letter using \' fdisk -l\' command.

$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

Your drive is detected at /dev/sdb1, and is mount point is /mnt

To back up the entire system, all you have to do is open your Terminal and run the following command as the root user:

$ sudo rsync -aAXv / --exclude={"/dev/*","/proc/*","/sys/*","/tmp/*","/run/*","/mnt/*","/media/*","/lost+found"} /mnt

This command will backup the entire root ( / ) directory, excluding /dev, /proc, /sys, /tmp, /run, /mnt, /media, /lost+found directories, and save the data in /mnt folder which is your external disc or a USB drive.
