Dedicated Linux Server Checklist for the New Year.
Friday, January 4th, 2008If you have a dedicated Linux server, this list is for you. Below are a few items you need to do, to ensure your 2008 will be a bit brighter. This list is by no means comprehensive, but hopefully gets you started in the right direction this year.
- Check your backups and perform a full system backup (or setup a backup routine! Now!).
If you have backups configured, validate they are actually being run. Check the last date / time of the backups to ensure they are running as expected. If possible, test the restore process.
Perform a full system backup and copy this backup offsite, to a provider like rsync.net
