 We make use of the "ccollect":https://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/ccollect/ software, which runs every day at 3AM Europe/Zurich. The backup server and storage clusters are in a location (place5) physically separated from the customer VMs (place6). 

 h3. h2. FAQ 

 h4. h3. How to enable this service? 

 You will have to contact our support and give them the following details: 

 * Address of the VM to backup (IPv6 or domain with AAAA field). 
 * Directories to backup. Default is @/@ excluding @/sys@ and @/proc@. 

 "ccollect":https://www.nico.schottelius.org/software/ccollect/ makes use of @rsync@ to transfer data and needs to connect to your server over SSH (rsync itself is not encrypted!). You need to configure an user - root for a full system backup - with the following SSH key (to put in @~/.ssh/authorized_keys@):
