Saturday, April 17, 2010: Backing up your website is a responsibility of your web server provider but these organizations hide themselves behind a large document typed in small font titled “Terms and conditions”. Experience have shown us that some of the web server renting companies charge you money for providing the backup which means that in time of trouble when you are struggling to get your data the company is holding you to a ransom for it.

Experience has shown us that backup should always be with the owner of the website and technology be used to ensure it happens.

FaridabadMetro is a news portal that gets updated every 30 minutes and a backup strategy was required so that the redundancy of 24 hours allowed.

Software Mantra has now created a script which allows to create a backup of the website every 24 hours in the middle of the Indian night as the server use is low at that hour. Then automatically the backup is taken to another server which is physically in another city around the world.
