Cyberpanel Disaster Recovery experiences and options

Iv

Hello,

I’m currently testing Cyberpanel and I see that the backup options are as follows:

  1. Create/Restore Incremental Backups
  2. Remote transfer

I can’t find in the documentation if these options enable disaster recovery.

Disaster recovery would be the following scenario/possibilities:

  1. The production server is down and can’t be brought up (let’s say it’s unusable anymore)
  2. There is a backup made via CyberPanel v2 Backup to a remote server via SFTP

Is it possible to set up a new server with CyberPanel and extract all backups (Sites, emails, databases) from remote backup server?

Is that possible? Has anyone had experience?

Kind regards,

Ivan

I’ve Been in this experience recently and had to reinstall my server.
I’ve been backing up to my Google Drive.

The Backup v2 is not a disaster recovery.

You have to recreate all websites, databases and restore all rclone configurations manually before you are able to use the backup v2 feature to restore.
It takes a lot of time.

However, once the restore feature runs, it will restore your data in place.
i.e. restore databases, emails and files.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Yes, this can take a long time if there are multiple sites, databases, email addresses. I am still trying to find an external solution to backup (cloning) the entire server and make it a disaster recovery solution.

Have you had any experience with that?

I think the best solution is to have a nightly snapshot of your server. Im currently using linode as my VPS provider, and they have this service, which is super helpful. I know AWS and other have it as well, i think it is a good investment. It has helped me twice already, where i had to revert back cyberpanel to a previous version from “last night” , basically just click of a button everything goes back o normal as previous day.

Thank you, but this is a dedicated server, so I researched the possibility of a disaster recovery backup of the entire server. I looked at solutions like Bacula but the prices are quite high (3700 EUR/year).
