Dear Members,
A. Introduction :
I am assisting my freind to setup his whmcs and i have theoretical idea of taking backups and sync for whmcs to make the setup redundant and safe from crashes.
B. The Problem :
What if the WHMCS ( the VPS on which its installed ) Fails for any odd reason, How do i address my clients and provide support ?
C. The Proposed Solution : Lets Have 3 VPS Servers :
primary.com ( having production whmcs )
backup.com ( having HIDDEN whmcs install , synced with primary.com )
911support.com ( Kayako System, ONLY for client support when primary.com fails and we can access ONLY backup.com )
So even if primary.com fails , the staff can access the updated backup.com and provide support vis 911support.com , till primary.com gets online.
D. The Setup :
- Main WHMCS on VPS 1 : primary.com
- Backup WHMCS on VPS 2 : backup.com ( Hidden , Not Publically Available )
E. The Query :
- Is this setup recommended, or its flawed in someway ?
- How to sync whmcs databases on VPS1 and VPS2
Im sure this will help many others who wish to make their whmcs setup more redundant and secure.
Thanx.
