[rt-users] Backing up the system

[Mahoney, Tim]

My guess would be in the /Opt/rt3 directory.  But wouldn't it be simpler to
keep a copy of the installation sources?  If your system dies, you're going
to have to reinstall the OS anyway.  Just remember to keep the install
sources for any add-ins you have as well.  Once you reinstall and get the
data directories reloaded, RT should go back to working just fine.  At least
that's been my experience in my disaster recovery testing.

Thanks

Thanks,

That will help be back up the data but I guess what I mean to say is that I
also need a way to back up the binaries.  I am not sure where all the pieces
may be hiding that I need to back up.

Bruce,

	We have RT3.4.4, MySQL Ver 4.1.9 on RHEL3U5. We use:

/usr/bin/mysqldump --add-drop-table --single-transaction --quick $DB >>
$FILENAME

	for our nightly backups.
