What are your webserver’s specifications?
We use virtualized servers. The advantages are fast hardware changes, easier recovery in case of emergency, and much more. Since we run some web servers, we describe here the basic data of the more important ones.
As cultural association we need to to use our systems as long as possible. So over the years we have gathered a few servers. Some we need to keep due to compatibility reasons for old web projects and archives.
Drupal8
The name says it all. Drupal 8 installations are hosted on this virtual server.

This is our server for ‘everything else’. This includes self-made websites, WordPress installations or other content management systems.

If your site runs with a PHP version <= 7.3 you can add the following snippet to your wp-config.php (insert after the commented line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */)
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
define('FS_METHOD', 'ftpext');
define('FTP_HOST', 'ftp.dom.ain');
define('FTP_USER', 'xxxxxx');
define('FTP_PASS', 'xxxxxx');
define('FTP_SSL', true);Instead of ftp.dom.ain and xxxxxx enter the correct FTP server and your FTP access data.
If the above does not apply to you, then please contact us to speak about other possibilities.
Basically, all data from all servers is synchronized with a separate backup server every day. Deleted files are kept in a separate directory and, depending on the space required, stored for one to three months.
In addition, dumps are created every day from all MySQL databases, so that the database can be restored day by day, up to 7 days back.
An external backup server provides additional security. For this purpose, data is synchronized between backup server and external backup server once a week.
