[rt-users] Stop RT for Backupprocess

[Fernando Frota Machado de Morais]

it is importante to stop MTA before httpd. We are planning to configure a 
replica of the database that will be used to generate backups, while 
main copy continues running.


We use this procedure:

Cron:
-------
36 5,11,16,21 * * * /var/lib/mysql/dumprt3.sh


dumprt3.sh
--------------
/sbin/service exim stop                                                                 
/sbin/service httpd stop                                                                
mysqldump  -u backup rt3 > /backup/local/rt3-$M.sql                                     
mv -f /backup/amanda/rt3-2.sql.gz /backup/amanda/rt3-3.sql.gz                           
mv -f /backup/amanda/rt3-1.sql.gz /backup/amanda/rt3-2.sql.gz                           
mv -f /backup/amanda/rt3-atual.sql.gz /backup/amanda/rt3-1.sql.gz                       
/sbin/service httpd start                                                               
gzip /backup/local/rt3-$M.sql                                                           
/sbin/service exim start
cp  /backup/local/rt3-$M.sql.gz /backup/amanda/rt3-atual.sql.gz                                                    
find /backup/local/rt3*.sql.gz -mtime +10 -delete
