Website Server Back-ups
Topic: Technology

A good rule of thumb to follow while you are configuring your back-up is to figure in how often you plan to update your site, or if you plan on having customers or visitors enter their information into an area of your site. You can then use this figure to decide how often your back-ups should be performed.

Once you have configured your back-ups, you will not need to worry about them. They will automatically run at the specified time each day, or each week. The output of the file will normally be saved in the home directory of your site.

Now, let’s say that you installed a new application on your website and it completely destroyed all of your site’s data. This is a little extreme, but it has happened in the past to thousands of webmasters. Don’t panic! You can easily restore your back-up from your dedicated server’s control panel.

Assuming you have followed the instructions above, you should have at least the past week’s data saved in the home directory of your server. This file will normally be zipped or compressed in some way. You can now log-in to your dedicated server’s control panel, and begin the restoral process.

Configuring and Restoring Hosting Back-ups - Part 1
Topic: Technology

When you begin to operate your dedicated server, you will most likely have the option to configure how often back-ups are performed on your server. It is very important to have a back-up of your site, especially if you are running a site that collects customer data or a site that has a forum or community application.

For busy sites, a daily back-up is essential. This back-up will contain all of the data that was processed or inputted to your site for a 24 hour period. If you have a problem on your site, but you use a daily back-up, the chances of you losing your data are very small. You may lose a portion, but it is a lot better than losing absolutely everything on your site.

Resellers should provide daily back-ups for all of their customers, to ensure that their customers will not lose any of their data. Even if it is the customer’s fault that their site’s data was corrupted, it is good customer service to have a back-up ready for them. You can also instruct your clients to perform their own back-ups of their sites if they are worried about data loss.

Small sites that don’t receive much traffic can still benefit from using a back-up system. In this case, a weekly back-up should be sufficient, but even a daily back-up cannot hurt if you update your site frequently.

Microsoft XBox360

The game console of Xbox 360 of Microsoft just took an enormous measure far from profitability yesterday when the company announced that it will take a load $1 billion with the manufacturing defects of cover and the additional burden to give to consumers a prolonged guarantee. Will Xbox never turn a benefit?

Microsoft very used with the problems of repair retrospectively, but seems to him that repairs of material are much more expensive than the updates eliminating from software for the software of buggy. In particular, of “the error message three twinkling lights of dead” caused with gamers per significant quantity of headache, with some having to return their consoles to Microsoft for repair several times. Microsoft now claims to have identified “a certain number of factors” which contribute to the consoles the unreliability, although they refused to present its observations on what were these factors.

I guess that billion is the cost to precipitate a game console out of the door without suitable test of implementation of reliability. The market of game console changed considerably since Microsoft wrote with Xbox. Instead of dividing the market with Sony, the two companies are hammered by infinitely more recreation (and highly reliable) Nintendo Wii. Nintendo Wii proves which not only can seize you large leaves market quickly, can make you the thus making money.
