We Have a New Backup Architecture!

Wow, after around 6 months of work we have finally implemented a nice shiny new backup architecture for pretty much every server we’re running! And we’re rather pleased with it.

I don’t want to go into too much detail, but we bought a pretty decent dell server with RAID purely for storing backups. After a huge amount of (very much appreciated) hard work from our server administrator James, we’ve now got all our servers automatically backing up onto this new dedicated backup server.

Not only that, but our dedicated servers are having a months worth of complete disk images stored (in addition to the standard web files etc), meaning we can restore entire servers in the blink of an eye! God forbid we ever have to though!!

points to us, just for being good at what we do.
