Re: Backup
Thanks for the tip. After posting my original message, I decided to list all files on the server that had changed in the last month. That gave me a list of volitile directories. From that I found that /var/www/tiki, /var/lib/mysql, /var/spool, and /var/logs seem to be the only important directories with changes (there were also some temp files).
From that list I created a job that uses rsync to copy everything to my laptop running cygwin. The backup runs each night and takes about 1 minute. I still need to try a restore but a quick look at the database tells me this process seems promising. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? I would be happy to share what I have if anyone is interested in a more throrough critic.
