As some of you know, some of us (mostly smooge and I) have been working on statistics gathering for Fedora web infra as of late. We are working on setting up a piwik instance to be used on our websites. However, this instance lives in the cloud and thus can't hit the VPN. A question I ran into and was told to email the list about and/or bring up at the meeting, is: What should our backups story look like for such cases? Mostly, we have a MySQL database on this node that will get really big fairly quickly (right now /var/lib/mysql is about 1.1GB and piwik only has one site added, and it's only been there for a few weeks). Are other cloud instances backed up in any way, and if so how was it done? If not, how do we go about coming up with a plan for doing this, for this instance and other instances in the future that end up having similar requirements? (Smooge can weigh in if I'm forgetting any important details here). -Ricky
