OVH Linux Dedicated Server - Getting Backup files from remote RBX storage after SBG dat

Hope this helps someone because I've seen a lot of questions about this on Twitter.

Please note this was dedicated to dedicated which come with backup storage by default. My VPS's don't show as selectable IPs in the burnt server's backup storage tab. This could be because they don't come with backup storage by default so don't have the capability without it being switched on (more cost!) or because VPS to dedicated may not be possible. I don't know, but if anyone else tries and does VPS to VPS or VPS to dedicated, please let me know and I will update.

Update - it seems your dedicated must be in the same country as the original server to take advantage of this process and VPS to SBG dedicated won't work.

1. Purchase a new OVH dedicated or VPS server in a different datacentre
2. Add the OS from mirror via server control panel - in my case Centos 7
3. Once new server is prepared go back to old server control panel and click backup storage tab.
4. Press 'Add an access'
5. You should see IP of new server in 'block concerned' list. Select it and check FTP box - this will give FTP access to the remote back up to the new server. Click next and you should see it processing, wait until it goes to green 'enabled'.
6. Make a note of your backup storage name and ID. Reset the password if you have to (will be sent via email)
7. Login to new server as root. (root pw will be sent once OS is installed)
8. Install lftp: **yum -y install lftp**
9. Log in to remote backup: **lftp username@backupname**
10. Enter password when prompted as sent via email
11. Enter command to ignore hostname check on SSL: **set ssl:check-hostname no**
12. Use command to see what's in your backup storage: **ls** or **cd dirname** to change remote directory (standard commands)
13. Use command to get a file: **get filename**
14. Download backup file from new server to your local machine via SFTP client (I like Bitvise as it has SFTP file manager built in to its SSH console).

Hope that helps!
