Using apache2-mpm-itk on Debian Lenny for Virtual Hosting

Using Veeam FastSCP to Copy Virtualmin Web Site Backups
Makes it easy to schedule backups in a number of ways. Even though Virtualmin is capable of sending backup data remotely using either FTP or SCP, I have decided instead to use the amazing free Veeam FastSCP to copy backup data to an external drive connected via firewire.

One of the products the author talked about was a free backup solution for ESX server created by Trilead.com called VM Explorer. The free version allows backing up virtual machines on an ESXi host, whereas the paid version allows scheduling backups.
