Sure, but most (all) virtual setups have automatic snapshots, and backups for a few bucks a month. The rest you mentioned, you SHOULD learn if you&#x27;re getting your hands into web services. What happens when something goes wrong, who is fixing it if you have no idea how any of it is running? I guess I&#x27;m old school. You learn the basics first, and build upon it. It&#x27;s not reinventing any wheel.
