Hi,
I have been toying with the idea of backing up to Amazon S3 using a script, this method seems a little to complex for me to monitor so I now have an interest in the Linode backups.
How do they work? How do you restore? How often will it backup? Is it file level? Can I restore other than a Server?
Kind regards |

Quote: There are four backup slots: Three of the slots are executed and rotated automatically: a daily backup, a 2-7 day old backup, and an 8-14 day old backup. The fourth backup slot is a user-initiated snapshot and remains in place until another user-initiated snapshot is taken.
Quote: The backup system operates on files, not at the block level.
You can restore through the Linode Manager. I'm not 100% sure what your last question means, but the restore process brings your disk images back as a whole, rather than per-file selection. Hope that helps! |

It'll back up everything in your disk image, yes. |
