Suggestions for backup system (entery server) - Best pratices

[hardbrasil]

Hello, fellas, i would like to know which backup solution (system) do you use, and why?

i made a research into internet and there is a lot of options, and maybe the experience can say more laugher.
i mean, in practice some technologies are more recommended... So i would like your opinion and know what you use in you infrastructure, best pratices!


we have 4 scenarios here

a) we need a server image (in case of system failure or root server hacked )

b) We need backup of vhosts structure (clients websites)
- one backup full of each domain folder structure each 15 days (maintain 1 backup file erase the most old)
- One backup incremental (per day)
- So for each client we gone have 2 backups, one with 15 days age and other with 1 day age. what do you think about this scenario?


c) The mysql we already have a software that resolve our needs.


d) Emails, they are so dynamic i don't see any way to backup this.
only for those that use webmail and let on server. What options do we have to keep them safe?


### Tools

# Idera R1 (we are testing this but we are not able to make it run completelly)


# Acronis (i heard that they are the best) but very expensive tool


# Plesk 11.5 Backup manager (who use? what is the best pratices?)

that is it,

thank you people!
