Guardian Backup by XeonBD
We are very glad to introduce our latest backup service which have been LIVE for you already. In the following para you will be shortly briefed about our Guardian backup solution.
Guardian backup is a fully managed robust backup solution that provides continuous data protection and off-site disaster recovery for your own hosting. Guardian backup uses replication and synchronization, with point-in-time snap shots, to provide up to the minute data protection of your complete server configuration. Guardian directly reads your hard disk volumes at the sector level, bypassing the file system for the ultimate in performance and recovery. Our disk sector synchronization is performed while the server is online and causes no interruption to I/O requests, even on a busy hour. By reading the disk at the lowest possible level, Guardian captures incremental recovery images containing your files and all the required information for complete disaster recovery.
Guardian Backup Features
- Continuous Backups During normal host operation, the Guardian agent keeps a journal of disk changes. Incremental backups know what sectors on the disk have changed before the backup operation even starts. Guardian's method is less resource intensive than tradition file-by-file or block-by-block backup methods.
- Incremental Snapshots Our technology provides consistent point-in-time system-wide backup images.
- Bare-Metal Disaster Recovery Restore servers directly from disk-based backup. Unlike traditional backup software, there is NO need to first partition your drive and install the operating system. Bare-Metal-Recovery greatly increases the speed of complete system recovery from a catastrophic failure.
- High Performance, Low System Impact Sector based backups increase throughput and reduce overhead. Servers can be fully operational with minimal performance impact during backups. Backups can usually be performed at anytime, even on busy hour.
For your more clarification like to include that at a point each day a full backup is taken, that backup is updated each hour after that until the same time the next day, at which point it is archived as the final daily backup for that day, there are seven days retained. The daily service also includes 4 weekly backups and 3 monthly backups being archived. So if you want to restore your site in a previous point to recover any disaster you can submit a ticket to us. Currently Guardian backup only supporting all the Linux shared hosting account.
If you still have any confusion regarding this service please open a ticket from your client area under sales department and our representative will get back to you to meet your thirst.

Upload large MySql file to phpMyAdmin
Hello friends,
Today I am going to give you an useful tutorial on uploading big database to phpmyadmin. Many times you have seen this error message at the time of loading database, "Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes". It means you are not allowed to upload big database pack to phpmyadmin.
As a website owner or blogger you may want to import your MySQL dump from one server to another server database, but what you do if it exceeds the limit offered by phpMyAdmin. By default phpMyAdmin provides the upload limit specified in the php.ini file. You can increase this upload limit size by editing the php.ini file if you have access to it, generally if you are in a shared hosting you won’t be able to edit this file because it will affect all the accounts on that server and XeonBD won’t allow this. If you have shell access to your account you can import easily, see below for how to import using SSH.
Using BigDump.php (Recommended):
BigDump is a script written by Alexey Ozerov for importing large mysql dumps. It’s a staggered MySQL dump importer, meaning the script executes only small part of the huge dump and restarts itself, the next session starts where the last was stopped. This process continues until it imports the whole database dump.
Download BigDump from here, http://www.ozerov.de/bigdump.zip
Steps:
1.Adjust the database configuration in this file
2. Drop the old tables on the target database if your dump doesn't contain "DROP TABLE"
3. Create the working directory (e.g. dump) on your web-server
4. Upload bigdump.php and your dump files (.sql, .gz) via FTP to the working directory
5. Run the bigdump.php from your browser via URL like http://www.yourdomain.com/dump/bigdump.php
6. BigDump can start the next import session automatically if you enable the JavaScript
7. Wait for the script to finish, do not close the browser window
8. IMPORTANT: Remove bigdump.php and your dump files from the web-server
If you have completed the steps successfully you are done.
Using SSH:
Shared hosting account does not have shell access. If you have shell access you can use the following commands to dump your mysql database.
mysql -u [user] -p [password] -h [hostname] [databasename] <[file.sql]
Custom PHP configuration using php.ini
We don’t allow php.ini access from shared hosting/reseller hosting servers. You can enable or disable various php.ini functions from .htaccess of your account, you can also enable/disable safe mode, register globals, sessions and many other functions from .htaccess.
We have a couple of shared web hosting servers running PHPSuExec reserved for clients who need access to edit php.ini file. Clients whose accounts are setup on one of these servers can create a custom file named “php.ini” and put whatever configuration settings you need to change in it, in the usual php.ini form.
If any one need php.ini access for some other reason then you can also consider our VPS Hosting plans or Managed Web Hosting Plan as you will get full root access on your VPS/Managed Web Hosting Plan along with a dedicated hosting environment to work with.
For Shared/Reseller Hosting account holder:
You may also want to make other changes to allow larger file uploads through php scripts, to set your own sessions directory for better security, to set a temp upload directory, or to change any number of other settings.
You can check your current php settings using the phpinfo() function. Make a .php file that has this one line:
<?php
phpinfo()
?>
If you want to use a custom php.ini file, there are two things to remember:
- Placement of the custom php.ini file is important. If you want to have the php.ini file work for just one directory (say for testing), then place it in that directory. If you want the custom php.ini file to work for the entire site, then add this line to your .htaccess file in your public_html directory: SuPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/directory/
You can place this file anywhere you wish, even above the public_html directory so it is not web accessible. - You will want to make the changes to the XeonBD already customized version of the php.ini file (XeonBD's default php.ini file).
Do not make a custom php.ini file with only the values you want to change or you will lose all the XeonBD's default modifications.
Note: you can find the location of the default php.ini file on your server (to put in the script) by using the phpinfo() function (discussed above).
XeonBD does not make frequent changes to the standard php.ini file, but you still may want to repeat the process once in a while. You could set the scripts to run via cron every night, then you would know you always have the latest revisions.
