Hello Everyone,

I have a program that uploads stock data to my web server. The data is uploaded as small files (<50KB) and a few files that maybe 2-3 MB in size. A folder on the basis of date is created and files (approx 100 (small)) are uploaded.

Now I wanted a backup solution so that if my web server is down my program can download the files from another server. Thus I wanted the following :

- a file server or storage space whereby I can upload file using a .net program
- my program which maybe used by a few hundred users can download from there
- aim is to be a backup ftp server
- I need at most 2 GB of disk space

Basically ftp access should be there so that my program can upload and download and even create directories through some command. In case main server is down, it should withstand multiple hits for download.

What would you advice ? Where should I go for this and if I should get a free space or paid.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you,

Jack

Just upload copies and keep the data on your pc. Then you can use them anytime.

I didn't understand. The users download it from my server so I want a backup server from where they can download in case the main one goes down.

You didn't say anything about users.

I am sorry I was not very clear. I meant that users who have the program that downloads data should get uninterrupted access.

If you're server is down, can you redirect them to another address? eg cloud storage? Can the redirect be done automatically on failure?

Redirect is ok but I need another server or the whole purpose of this post is where can I get a ftp serve or backup storage which supports uploads/multiple downloads.

Why not just get a second copy of what you've got now, but with a different provider?

Right now its a powerful web server which does a few other tasks. All I need is a backup file storage so that if main server is down I can download it from a second one.
