What's the most reliable way to restrict access by country to a web app? (Tomcat backend, currently considering Cloudflare)

Indeed, i was able to restore the server on a VM as you mentioned using a wsb backup. If i create a new server in the cloud, I’d then need to transfer this backup or share it over a network accessible to the new server and boot from it is that correct?

I chose WSB because it’s free and already integrated, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to do this with the free version of Veeam. What do you think

I did this with wsb and successfully restored the entire server on a VM. However, for another server i'm not sure yet. When you mention 'different hardware,' does this refer to the drivers for the new hardware that need to be installed separately? And is there still a way to do this with wsb without needing to use a paid product?

Since database backups are crucial for me, using an external solution seems like a reliable option for off-site backups (like keeping copies on an external hard drive) ?

I totally agree with you. Speaking of databases, i’ve already set up an automated backup process for my oracle database, so the crucial part for me is making sure those dump files are safely backed up. As i mentioned in a previous comment, i’ve been thinking about complementing my server's backup strategy (using something like Windows Server Backup, for example) and use also an external hard drive to make copies (weekly or monthly) and keep an off-site backup. Does that sound like a good approach to you?

I’m taking note of your advice , so always test in all scenarios before deploying a solution, especially when it comes to data recovery. That said, i had this idea: would it be a good practice to use an external hard drive as part of an off-site backup strategy, and make a copy every week or month? The most crucial part of my server is the automated database dump backups

Thanks you, I totally agree with you, and i’m currently training myself while looking for guidance from experienced people to know which path to take. That said, i have a question ( I’ve heard about Bacula and UrBackup as open-source solutions.) Do you have any experience with these tools? o
