[rt-users] Backing up the system

[Bruce Rudd]

Les,

That is what I am looking at doing.  Well, having IT do for me anyway.
I am just not sure what all the location are for all of the pieces I
need to backup.

You'd have to install all the needed perl modules again and fix your
httpd.conf besides having the database and things under /opt/rt3.
I like to have backuppc (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/) running
on another machine making nightly copies of everything because it
is painless and it's really easy to grab a few files back through
the web interface.  It is also possible to get full tar images back and
thus do a full restore, although that isn't completely automated.
