Backups: Yes - Eprints is hosted on a virtual server. We backup database and eprint items (pdfs etc..). We have a primary and backup database that is in sync and we backup the backup database nightly using standard mysqlbackup to a gzipped mysql file. We have a 2nd eprints server which we sync data (using cron and rsync)from the primary server hourly during work hours – IIRC the primary server is backed up nightly using vmware backup tools. Our configuration is hosted in a git repository and this is also backed up nightly with standard gitlab backups.
