Neah, I have a lot of identities, but anyone with the proper warrants can trace them down, the warrants are no longer needed today, so I am the canary in the mine, when I will be arrested for fighting for this right under manufactured charges (instigation, libel, sedition, tax evasion, god knows what), you will know you need to take my advice seriously and hide your ass.
removed, not worth it.
@Nekki Lock this up please? The OP obviously doesn't want help, and it'll derail quickly.
To be clear, we are planning to offer a different backup system once we replace SolusVM. Something more flexible and reliable than the current system. Sorry to see you leave.
The OP still wants offers that meet his spec, so unless he starts being unnecessarily antagonistic towards other posters again, I don't see that this needs to be locked.
I want offers, what I don't want is advice about backup strategies. not that hard to understand, or is it?
If you are going to be disrespectful towards people that spend their free time trying to help you solve something, you're going to overstay your welcome here soon enough. Consider this a warning for being disrespectful towards our members.
This forum is such a nice place because people are trying to help you rather than just say where you should go. Maybe you were looking for another easy backup strategy. How were we supposed to know? You did not even explicitly mention not to be looking for advice in your OP.
While the answers here may not be what you were looking for, common courtesy is to just thank people for their efforts and say "but I am actually only looking for a replacement". If you'd simply done that you would have probably come off better :-)
How to order?
@mpkossen: I'm not looking for answers about backup strategies, I'm looking for VPS offers - for that particular reason this question is in "Requests". So those who keep educating me on these are just wasting time, why would I be grateful for advice I don't want, I don't need, and I didn't ask for?
I would suggest raising a ticket with Inception since the order button isn't working.

you're welcome
Why should we waste our time looking for them if you're just going to use us like researchers? Go find it yourself if this is your attitude.
Also, that's the admin of LET. You're treading on thin ice now.

So you know how to order, you just asked how to for a laugh, or you've since found the link?
I fail to understand why you keep posting in this thread
I fail to understand why you're here on LET. Stop being rude to people who are posting in good faith.
Want concise, to the point answers? Go to Google, not a community forum.
Have fun getting banned, because considering your selfish nature and the attitude shown here, you're going to be. Soon.
If you want to understand why, read the OP. Simples.
I found the link after posting I can't find it
I guess you read as badly as you write. I said it's common courtesy. If someone gives you $100 without asking for it, will you be rude to that person as well? :shrugs: People are just trying to help.
Keeping that attitude will not get you far here, or in life in general, by the way.
. huh!
Hey, you can't dictate that people can't dictate what people post!
Back on topic... a provider backup is different from a self-maintained backup. A reliable provider backup (aka 'snapshot') lets you quickly restore a VM after, say, a catastrophic hardware failure. You can achieve the same thing with a self-maintained offsite backup, but it's much slower and more work.
Some hosts do offer backups, but you should (IMO) take it with a grain of salt. There's been many a report of failed backups after catastrosphic failures... Provider backups are great if you can restore a backup snapshot to a new VM (to test the backup system), but you shouldn't really bank on its success. Expect the worse, and have sufficient self-maintained backups to let you rebuild from scratch.
Not going to quote the whole thing, but well said. FWIW, I do my own backups and have an install script that can get a box back up and running in 15 to 20 minutes. I can understand wanting an offsite backup especially one with a high transfer rate, but I would only count provider level backups as "last resort."
I just noticed if you search LEB for backups, you just get spammed with backupsy offers. well played whoever owns backupsy, well played.
Anyway @leechum according to their posts on LEB, Crissic and CatalystHost backup their nodes weekly.
What are you implying?
I mean it's a really clever name, because you type "backup" or "backups" and all of the backupsy posts come up
But if you search on LET, you just get spammed with this thread
VPSDime has a daily backup for their VPSes and you'll get a full access to fetch any/all files whenever you need.
This is a case of everyone telling me I have a $100 in my pocket. I know that, and it's not anyone elses business, thank you very much.
If you haven't mentioned Ramnode in your posts, I think this thread would have gone a totally different direction.
No, I don't think it would - no-one cares that it's Ramnode, it's the provider backups that people have strong opinions on.
