Dedicated Server Backup & Restore

[aetherstreams]

Hello,
Does any currently use and recommend software that can protect your servers software? I am looking to have an option to restore a server to its previous state prior to hardware or software failure or changes due that negatively impacts the server after an upgrade. The servers will be running the Xtream-UI panel software. I have looked at backup software for MySQL such as Backup Bird (https://www.backupbird.com/mysql-backup-software) but I'm looking for the best possible solution to make sure I have a disaster recovery plan in place. How are you protecting your servers today? Thanks!

Hello, you can use a "dd" utility to create a system backup image.
Example:

sudo dd if=/dev/sda conv=sync,noerror bs=64K | gzip -c > /PATH/TO/DRIVE/backup_image.img.gz

/dev/sda - your HDD/SDD
/PATH/TO/DRIVE - place, where you will store backup
