I am exploring the option of adding Backup services to our service product lineup.
Essentially, the backup service would work for anyone with FTP and RSYNC support.
Here's the fun part. Besides direct access using the two protocols mentioned above, a special plugin for DirectAdmin would be developed and made available to provide easier backup and restore tasks.
The goal would be faster and more streamlined backups and restores.
Here is what I've got in mind.
Admin level backup plugin similar to the reseller level backup options. It would automatically make incremental remote backups to our dedicated backup servers yet retain the integrity of the backups so that DA would still be able to restore them individually if desired.
Admin level restore option similar to the reseller level backup options. It would display a list of all available backups on the remote server with restore options.
Backups would be stored on our high data capacity servers and charged per gigabyte of storage used. A rough figure right now is $0.50/GB
Custom options would also be available in purchasing your own managed dedicated server.
This is just a general idea. I'd love to hear suggestions for the plugin and pricing. Anything that would make the service viable for your business.
I look forward to hearing your feedback.
