<div dir="ltr"><div>A friend asked me to look over a hosting deal she was considering for her business site--the folks offering it used 'cloud' everywhere possible in the ad copy. I assume this means it's all running on virtual machines, as are most affordable hosting plans these days.<br>
<br></div>What is standard practice for back-up on virtual servers (if there is something approaching standard practice)? Exporting the virtual machine & storing that copy until it's replaced by the succeeding copy? <br>
