use the admin_backup.pl!

We are in 2009 so we have to automate it :D

cool but does the script give one an obvious "restore" function?

backing up (just the data) with a system capable of restoring as well ... is a much more sensible approach (best practices and all).

there are far too many it professionals who do backups but NEVER verify a restore: which means the backups are worthless, since a non-verified backup method can fail easily and give one a false sense of security.

We have done several restores and quick-swaps with the output from the admin_backup.pl script.

You are correct, there really should be some kind of instructions for it.

i posted a basic instruction set for the sql restore, the rest are really just "copy files over top of files".
