Of course, I always have backups on my dedicated server, but I am looking for a solution to store my backups outside that.
What do you guys do to keep everything safe?

Thanks in advance for helping me out!

Server + Cloud + another local copy. If the site is important, I make sure I save another backup on a stick or external memory. Pretty paranoid, but better to be sure.

I would like to do it as youas well. Pretty paranoid here as well. However, when I am downloading a site to my local machine it takes 2 days :O. Is there a way to download a site to another server or cloud directly and how can it be done? Thanks for information!
 
Two dedicated backup servers, each hosted in a different country.

Also; thread moved.
 
I just changed my backup options to bold grid, who make W3 total cache, and they provide a good premium cloud backup for $2.50 a month (annual payment though)

Its a set and forget, and backs up pre-plugin or wp update. Sends you any error reports.
 
I recently saw a thread in BHW where the guy said his HDD got corrupt and he was having VPS hosting. He lost all his sites and he had not kept the backups in his local drive as well. This was really sad and alarming for many.

In the past I used vaultpress to get automatic backups of my money websites but that is also a costly option, especially when you have too many sites and only few sites are generating revenue.

So I made it a habit to download all the data on a monthly basis or twice a month and save in a local HDD as well as in backup laptop.

It is ideal to use a cloud backup service but what I do is feasible for those with too many sites and do not want to spend extra money on backups.

One just need to be proactive and punctual to take regular backups, that's all.
 
Acronis and comet backup are also popular tools for taking backup
 
NAS might be a viable option.

Scenario : 1 x NAS in the office, 1 x NAS at home.

NAS1 pulls the back up from your site and replicates it to NAS2 for redundancy.

Depending on your RAID setup. This should give you a peace of mind from hard drive corruption and acts of god.

What does NAS stand for? Got it: Network Attached Storage.
 
I also want to download compressed zip file of my sites to my own machine to put them on a USB, but it takes days :s. Is there anything else I can do to speed this up?

Or you can download the zip files to your machine then have the NAS to automatically back up files from a certain folder in your machine.
 
On pc, there's always a copy of backup on hosting.
