rsync incremental system backup

[scott9824]

On my cPanel boxes I use incremental backup and rsync once the backup has completed to a remote backup server. I can't seem to find an option for this with directadmin. Transferring the tar'd files every night eats up bandwidth.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

DA does not presently offer this functionality.

Are there any plans to add this functionality? What else could I do to create DA restorable backup's using rsync?

I really can't go transferring up to 300gb of backups each day between servers, when sometimes very little changes (though what does change is very crucial, if you know what I mean).

Thanks

You can leave backups on your machine, then run rsync yourself (perhaps through a cron job) to do the syncing across servers.

Where I lease my server from has an offsite backup facility - as jlasman suggests , rsync and a cron job works a treat for me
