do you guys enable backups
i was poking around my WHM on my VPS and notriced the backups option is not enabled. I asked surp[ass and they said backups are my responsibility and by default, they leave that disabled.
I do backups of my MYSql database using putty. but was wondering if you guys out there with VPS' have your backups enabled or not? |

Unless you want to be rebuilding the whole thing ... I'd do some form of periodic backup.

I left mine disabled and will do a manual backup when I feel the need. I have nothing of major importance and most all is of a hobby nature.
When all gets a somewhat bigger I may start doing a weekly/monthly backup just to be safe then. If I ever go Dedi I may then do daily backups.
