I'm trying to work out how to upload a 15gb database to my Amazon AMI on EC2. It keeps dropping. My ISP gives 1.5mb/s upload. Also my download speed is goes to neraly nothing when I am uploading. Is there a way to send the database over quickly using EC2?
Thanks
You can use any database GUI manager to upload the database. Connect to your EC2 database using your database GUI manager and upload the data from your local system. If you are using MySQL as your database I will suggest SQLYog MySQL GUI manager, Connect to your EC2 using ssh tunneling and upload your data.
Consider using rsync with options like:
rsync -PazSHAX LOCALDIRECTORY/ REMOTEHOST:/REMOTEDIRECTORY/
Keep running it until it completes successfully as it will resume where it left off.
You can consider Amazon Import/Export for that. It costs some money, though.

does anybody know a way to perform a periodic remote backup of the full environment (so comprehensive of the application servers and SQL databases) in Jelastic?
I wanted to use Google Drive to store the backups as I was already using it with Plesk.
Thanks.
I've got a handful of databases running on a SQL Server instance. I don't have access to be able to install the Azure Backup agent but I do have connection details and credentials to access the database and perform backups in SQL Server Management Studio.
What I want to do is be able to perform and schedule these backups and save them in to Azure Blob Storage. I could have this schedule running on my local computer but that's not an ideal solution.
I've got a powershell script that will perform this action for me but it relies on SQL Server assemblies to run. I've tried running this as a devops build task but am unable to do so without the assemblies it requires.
Does anybody know a way of setting this up? In azure for example? Is there a resource that will allow me to connect and backup a sql instance via connections string and save down to blob storage. Or an azure function perhaps?

I'm afraid the answer is no.
We can't find any API support in Azure to help you achieve that.
I think the SQL Server Management Studio and powershell script is more suitable for you.
Maybe you can think about using third-party tool SQL Backup and FTP, it can help you schedule backup the SQL Server to Azure Blob Storage.
Hope this helps.
I'm sure there's a good amount of developers here that use DirectAdmin and I had a quick question.
I've always used cPanel and I'm not on a server that is using DirectAdmin instead. Where in DirectAdmin can you generate a full backup of the account at the user level?
Also, do DirectAdmin backups include everything related to the account like cPanel backups do? For example, not only the files and databases but also the cron jobs, DNS zones, email accounts, etc.?
And where are the backups stored by default? Is there an option to send the backups to a remote server via FTP like you can with cPanel?
There are two different backup systems built into DA:
Admin Tools | System Backup. This tool lets you backup configuration data and arbitrary directories, locally or using FTP or SCP.
Admin Tools | Admin Backup/Transfer. This tool is oriented toward backing up data account by account, in one archive per account, in a format that you can use to restore from (in the same tool) on the original or another DA server (i.e. if you want to transfer to a new server). You can back up locally and/or via FTP.
Both options can also be scheduled via cron.
Depending on your level of access, only one of these might be available to you. This page has further info for non-administrators: http://www.site-helper.com/backup.html.
You can improve your DirectAdmin backup with an incremental backup plugin that includes local and remote backup location, please check the setup guide here
Myself trying to host a web application in amazon server which takes data from database.I tried to make an instance in amazon rds with master username as root and a password.I have mysql workbench . I don't know how to import my .sql files to amazon rds.While going through the tutorial i am getting confused wih the security group and all.My questions are
1.do i need to create a security group to do my job,to accesss my application from any ip address?
2.how can i create database with this amazon server in sql workbench/sql query browser.
You can either create or add your IP address in default security group to access application to Database.
Amazon RDS is just another database maintained by Amazon for you.No much difference in usability, You can connect to it from your MYSQL workbench by providing RDS details and you can star using just as another database.
To start i dont have much experience with DB's. In summary, i have an application for a client. They dont want to necessarilary host their DB online but have a local sql server set up for their 2 computers.
I have a batch script that backs up the database every night. Is there a way in the batch script to send them to the cloud like a skydrive,etc?
Try our SQLBackupAndFTP software. You can schedule backup jobs with SQLBackupAndFTP (full, differential and transaction log backups), save backups at local folders, FTP, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Amazon S3, SkyDrive, delete old backups and configure email notifications... Basic features are available in free version or you can try all features in trial mode.
Just backup to SkyDrive folder. If DB is big use rsync for sending to cloud or do full backups every week, differential every day and transaction every hour (depending of you application etc) then there will be less data to send to cloud.
backup database to SD folder - using backup compression (if available in your edition of sql server, see WITH COMPRESSION clause of BACKUP statement help in BOL) or using 3rd party backup compression tool (either free or paid)
also you can backup database to temporary folder and then zip it to SD folder
If you are willing to spend a bit of money, cloudberry has an sql backup tool that will do exactly that (and more).
