daily backup hosting to another server

Hi guys,
I manage some important websites, data loss and data privacy is important for us. Currently we are using a vps server through hostinger and we take daily backups. However, I want to back up the backups of the sites on an extra server on a daily basis. (for example: I will rent a vps from hetzner.com and use it only for storage.)
What is the name of this process? I couldn't find a source explaining how to do it. I would appreciate if friends who know can help.

I would recommend you to get only cloud storage, like from any reliable provider out there with S3 compatibility and then use any backup software like jetbackup to make daily incremental backups, jetbackup also has built in support to connect to some cloud storage providers, you can check from their list and see if any suites you, or a simple S3 compatible cloud storage will be the best option for you.

Another is to rent a VPS or dedicated server in the same data center as your current one and get it hooked up via private network and LAN and setup your daily backups using private network, it can be a fast and good option too.

Thank you for detailed reply. Is there a resource for doing this? Probably every service provider has a different procedure. If there is a place you can recommend, I can look into them.

I think you can contact a hosting provider and ask if they can provide you a solution for backup. I mean this service will be a kind of custom made plan for you.

actually from the service provider side, all you need is an S3 compatible cloud storage, and simply buy it, nothing else you need from their side, then you need to install an backup application like jetbackup on your server and configure it with that storage, so that it can keep making incremental backups and you can restore it once needed, jetbackup has a good GUI interface too, again for private network same DC backup storage option, all you need to do is buy another VPS or dedicated server from the provider where you are having your server, and ask them to connect your servers via VLAN, and then again you would need to setup this on your servers by your self, or if you are not familiar with the server management you can buy server management with your VPS or dedicated server, and ask your server management team to perform and setup this task for you, actually we can provide you this all solution too, but i think before we have 100 posts we can not post links, though you can inbox us for that.

Switch to a VPS provider that has daily backups and correct RAID setup so in addition to your your own backups, there will also be an additional one.

My solution is buy a budget VPS,then use a file sync script to back up the www directory and db.

thanks. could you elaborate on the "file sync script" please?

Look at jet backups that’s what I use, then I have a server with hetzner that I send the backups to, using rsync

lsyncd

Get a huge backup harddrive and keep a local copy aswell.

I do that each time I have finished with computer nightly

Bah, if you're already running linux just use rsync or it's big brother RClone (it's open-source). No need for another vps just pay for cheap s3 cloud storage.. heck rclone can even automate syncing backups to dropbox/box/google drive if u really wanted to. (personally i'd just have it upload to a cloud storage provider like cloudflare r2, backblaze b2, wasabi, scalaway or pcloud). If i'm worried about data integrity + having a fail-safe backup plan then I'm not going to want to host it myself.. i'd rather let the pro's do it as it's only pennies per month even with an insane amount of data xfer. Peace of mind that the drive the vps is on doesn't go bad or the provider starts to have connectivity problems... lesser chance of that with these guys.

Anyhow, rclone is stupid simple to setup too, take a look (also open-source.. completely free.. can't beat that)
