For those who sell VPS, tell me about your infrastructure. Do you have a master server with slaves (ie. with solusvm) Can you easily move vps from server to server for redundancy? Do you backup the vps ? if so how?

Well the VPS set up varies and I doubt if any one would like to share their infrastructure here since its their selling point , however generally the best practice is to having a Solusvm Master working in isolated environment and so do the slaves where the VPS will be hosted. As longs as the slaves are registered with single Solusvm master the VPS can easily be migrated through the nodes.

While I can't disclose the infrastructures I have deployed due to NDAs and security reasons, I will say this. Never put all your eggs in one basket. What I mean by this is make sure all critical services are on separate servers, and potentially different upstream connections. You will want to keep your master separate from any server with a hypervisor. Also, you will want to keep your website on a separate upstream provider from your slaves and/or master. Why do I say this? Well, if the datacenter hosting your production servers has an outage, chances are your clients will still be able to contact you for support. Likewise, if your support site were to go down (which you should have a failover in place btw), hopefully all products/services will remain accessible.

Yes

You can backup the VMs using Automated FTP Backups within SolusVM and have them sent to an offsite backup server, and you can duplicate those backups to multiple backup servers as you wish.

If you do this while running OpenVZ Containers, can they safely be backed up while running or do they have to be powered down for backups?
