You can add automated backup facilities to that for an extra fee, or just make snapshot backups in a separate partition.</div><div><br></div><div>You can't compare dedicated servers to VPS, though you do get stock 4 processor Xen instances on linode.com, along with shared, mirrored, drives. I had a look at OVH, and they do look really impressive - but at the price I have to seriously wonder how they manage those specs.</div></body></html>
