I see in a lot of places it mentioned you should keep backups. I'm curious how other users achieve this?
This only applies to self-managed services, the managed ones are backed up by NFo.

Re: Backups?
Personally, i use rsync over SSH on my unmanaged linux VDS's for backups. I copy the files to a budget high storage VPS from another company.
Not a NFO employee
Re: Backups?
Should of mentioned I'm using Windows for this particular VDS, so classic solutions (like rsync) aren't possible unfortunately.

Re: Backups?
If it's strictly game servers you run, I would keep a backup myself of the config files only. The game server and files can be re downloaded very easily. Besides using nice Perci style RAID cards I don't see Nfo backing up every single virtual machine for the fact these machines are running mission critical applications for enterprise or corporate environments.
