Do you backup your cloud servers?

Manually because I want CentOS 7
Which is both the "recommended" ownCloud OS and simultaneously "so old it is out of support" and apparently only crazy insecure people use it.

NTG already had a talk and management approved leaving ownCloud because we can't trust they anymore.
What are you moving to? There are no good alternatives.
-
@scottalanmiller Are you referring to Owncloud or CentOS 6 being insecure?
NM - I see the answer is, unfortunately, OwnCloud. -
This is some crazy sh!t.

NM - I see the answer is, unfortunately, OwnCloud.Yeah, ownCloud is no longer something I would be confident using. At least not at the moment. We've asked corporate to step in and clarify things. But this is really, really bad for them. I don't see them recovering from this one.

I've used Seafile, and tried out Pydio. They were ok. I haven't tried syncthing or any of the others though.
Seafile seemed to sync super fast.

ownCloud corporate IS stepping in. Hold tight till tomorrow, I'm trying to get "people in a room" to discuss.
-
@scottalanmiller I'll bring some popcorn.

In the meantime, CentOS 7 works fine but we have lots of questions around "is it supported" and I have a feeling that OpenSuse Tumbleweed will work better.

I will hang tight until we can get to the bottom of the, "should I even use OwnCloud" debacle.

I put up a CentOS 7 How To a few hours ago. For the moment going to keep working on an OpenSuse one, we will see how things go.
-
@scottalanmiller Yeah, thanks. I saw that one then saw this thread.

Backups are stored in the same datacenter as the original instance on a separate fault tolerant storage system.

Not quite the backup I was hoping for

Different Storage = Good
Same Datacenter = Bad.

What are you hoping for for the price you are paying?
-
@JaredBusch storage in a different datacenter, ideally in two datacenters in two different locations.
Amazon S3 can do this affordability right?

Had a very good conversation about an hour ago. They are going to be posting some updates soon, but I definitely have the answer that CentOS 7 is the "most standard" and absolutely supported option.

That's standard for any cloud hosting system. If you want stuff like Amazon S3, you need to work with a provider that HAS systems like that. You can't expect Amazon-like facilities from a Vultr type player. And on Amazon, you have to implement that specially, it isn't the standard.

@scottalanmiller it sounded like yesterday you wrote them off? Have you chanced your mind?

Not affordably like Vultr. Is S3 a good value? Yes. Is it cheap, no.
