Amazon EC2

On top of this backup, in Amazon EC2 is possible to create snapshots of the entire machine.

Custom installation

Custom installations differ in most cases precisely because of their customized nature. Follow these generic instructions on how to make and restore backups. As every custom deployment is potentially different, every case will require special care and attention, specific details might change.
