h2. VM Backup
h3. FAQ
h4. 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@):
