backup

Is there anyway to backup an image of a rackspace cloud server? something thats easy to do instead of running scripts backing up each db and fs.

This seems like something easy to do on EC2 and impossible to do on rackspace cloud.

Also i know rightscale can work with rackspace cloud only for ubuntu images. Is it possible to do this with rightscale easily if its not yet available directly in rackspacecloud?

Are relative-path symlinks reliable on Rackspace Cloud Sites?

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
Rackspace's Cloud Sites have a lot of stupid limitations. For example, no SSH (in or out), no shell, no RSYNC, etc... (even through cron). Recently I learned that you can't reliably use symlinks in Cloud Sites. Apparently this is because the absolute path of your sites could change at any moment… >>> More
