I've not looked into this much, as I don't have any of the providers you list. But I was wondering if the potential of this add-in could be used to back up your server's OS drive into the Cloud storage of your provider. And if so, how would one go about doing a restore should an OS drive become useless? I'm looking for something I can automate that will keep an "updated daily" of incremental (not complete every time) backups for my server, should the unforeseeable time occur that I lose everything.
I've been asking around in IRC, and it looks like the Seedbox I'm subscribed to would allow me to use their drive space they allocate for me to be used as a backup. I could simply run an sFTP connection to it, and upload my OS drive right now. However, there's no automation to it, and no way to do incremental updates. Plus, I don't know if something like that is capable of completely backing up EVERYTHING (hidden/system files, etc). And as it would be, the OS would be there, but there would be no way to restore those files back without first reinstalling the OS and the FTP programs.
Does such a thing exist that I'm looking for? Would CloudDrive provide this for me?
