    I stopped using the storage box and I am going to cancel it. Performance is VERY bad even for backups.

    Perfect! Thank you.
    Less users, better performance for us.

    It would be nice to hear what issues you've had. Since it is a new order you are on our new node with better hardware and connectivity than previously. I've only heard good experiences so far.

    After reading your message I did a little research and found out that the version of Restic that comes with Ubuntu is < 0.17 and has a bug that affects performance with backups over sftp. So I am gonna try a backup again with the latest version and also some settings I have read that may improve performance. But it's likely I hit that bug that I mentioned. Let's see.

    Still slow with the latest version of Restic but I am trying with Borg now since it's installed on the server and it's much better!

    You could try rclone for mount box as local drive. Maybe it will fix the local software speed issue.

  • is there a 2 years or 3 years plan for

    cPanel 50 GB
    50 GB NVMe Gen4 Storage
    4 CPU Core
    4 GB RAM
    $4/quarterly

    or are there better specs available? @labze

  • @labze said: If anything the plans will only go up in price eventually for new orders. There's too little profit in this as it is to deal with this headache of people buying a $5/year plan just to run some fuck it script that has no place on shared webhosting.

    I am a satisfied customer of this USD 5 plan and I have renewed and will definitely continue renew with the experience I have.

    I just run a small personal wordpress website (with no plugins) with very little traffic. I do have few add on domains, but they are just static and parked before they find their new home as they get used up for other project.

    For this kind of little to no load operations, this plan is just perfect for me. Not sure about the other end, as if a business isn't making money off me, it wont be able to keep the lights on for sure.

    I can only hope the renewal prices stays relative to market inflation and conditions.

    Thanks.

    you mean pending status? I think your order still on queue to manually approve and process.

  • Hi, can you please check this Ticket : my.hostbrr.com/plugin/support_manager/client_tickets/reply/27078/

  • Does anyone have best practice for backing up / restoring user data?
    I have a reseller cPanel account and want to keep users' backups on another server for longer retention (Hostbrr only keeps 15 days).
    Currently I have to go into each account and manually download backups from JetBackup, or create a full backup and upload it to my server via SFTP.
    Is there any proper or automated way to handle this in cPanel without entering each account manually?

    @labze Is SSH allowed for DirectAdmin/cPanel accounts? Looking for installing composer components.
    Already an existing customer for both VM and storagebox, very happy with both!

    Do you secure data on the storage boxes with raid or backups?

    Storageboxes use RAID-60. It can withstand up to 6 simultaneous drive failures without data loss, and disks are hot-swappable so any potential disk failure won't result in downtime.

    How big is the array ? I worry you misunderstood raid 60. No, Raid 60 cannot withstand 6 simultaneous drive failures.

    moves data out of Hostbrr

    If cPanel doesn't have an API for this, you fucked up by picking the wrong service.

    The RAID-60 array is created by 3 different RAID-6 arrays. Each underlying RAID-6 can lose two drives simultaneously without data loss. This allows for up to 6 simultaneous disk failures if spread across all three arrays.

    Right, it has a qualifier "if spread across all three arrays."

    That takes a special edge case that has a qualifier not mentioned, it's not any 6 drives.

    That's why I stated up to 6 drives, which is correct. The absolute statement that it can't is false.

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim RAID10 only can withstand 1 drive failure, no matter the size :-)

    So if three drives failed on same array, "but that can't result in complete data loss, I was told up to 6 drives could fail by labze!"

    I don't think I've ever seen anyone claim RAID10 only can withstand 1 drive failure, no matter the size :-)

    I've only heard of drive failures allowed with the qualifiers, not without and confusing others.
