Best are relative.
Best in price, performance or something else?
Safety and Performance I also want
If you are not going to use FreeNAS, Nas4Free, Openfilter or OpenMediaVault, you need to go with KVM. However, if you are just trying to set up FTP or rsync backups, there is really not much difference.
OpenVZ, providers are not afraid to give out large amounts of disk as not everyone will use say the full 50gb, where as on KVM it's a little harder to oversell disk.
You mean If you are going to use FreeNAS, Nas4Free, Openfilter or OpenMediaVault, you need to go with KVM?
False, it's possible to oversell disk on KVM too.
The problem for most providers is that SolusVM doesn't support it just yet but having custom panel just solves that issue.
If you are going to export your FS in unusual ways, say iSCSI or even CIFS/NFS, you need KVM/Xen. You can do, however, FTPFS, SSHFS and anything in userspace provided fuse is enabled in OVZ.
Thanks a lot
I prefer openvz backup vps as it provides overselling facility for my providers .. larger disk space and lower price.
From an administration point of view OpenVZ is much easier to work with. All things being equal I would go with OpenVZ.
backup only -- you are likely to find better pricing on openvz. you are also more likely to find overselling which is why i would never recommend it for any other purpose.
If security/privacy is a thing for you then i'd go with KVM because you could encrypt the entire hdd. ofcourse you will be paying more for less. you have to ask yourself, is it worth it? i'd say No because anything you upload to a remote destination could possibly violate that privacy element. better get a NAS server for home in such case, atleast you'd know for the full 100% that the provider or a thirdparty person doesn't get access to your files.
Iptable modules are still somewhat annoying under ovz. It'll depend greatly on whether the provider has loaded the appropriate modules. It's getting better though lately, IMHO.
That is moot for a backup VPS, you can encrypt the backup at the source.
Many thanks. I have nas for backup in my home but would like to make one more backup copy outside my home. So I will use Openvz + change ssh port + csf firewall + btsync + encrypt the files in PC before sync to vps. Is it enough to protect my files in Openvz.
Backupsy is KVM? so you can set what you want up in there...
Winity is Hyper-V. Backupsy is KVM, VPSDime is OpenVZ
Can't you start a Xen provider?
Urgh, flid moment; I meant Backupsy - we are talking about backups VPS's.
EU laws say he cannot be a monopoly.
Then follow the US laws :P
