Ok this is driving me to despair and I am severely regretting not paying Cpanel their stupid price rises.
On my cpanel set up I ran a daily backup for all accounts which I stored on my Google Drive (Unlimited) It just stored full backups of each site which if i needed to I could download from a certain date and retrieve any files or folders quickly. This was done from some facility in Cpanel itself that my server management people set up.
It seems the ONLY option I have in DA is to back up the whole server each day by ftp to a remote server because DA doesn't have an option to back up to Google Drive. From these backups I can not retrieve single accounts or files.
The alternative is the modmaster plugin which only does incremental backups, so if for example a client site gets compromised and they don't notice for 2 days there is no recovery option for them, I can not simply restore a backup from 3 days ago without me taking the whole damned server back 3 days which of course is NOT going to happen.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE that a hosting control panel in this day and age is so bloody poor when it comes to backups or am I missing something here?
I have two small VPS with about 40 clients I do NOT have hundreds of dollars to spend on storage, the way this is looking I will end up spending more on storage and the modmaster plugin than I would have paid Cpanel for their inflated pricing.
How are you guys doing this and still safeguarding your clients data? To say I am frustrated after messing with my server management people for FIVE DAYS on this is an understatement.
