Question about backing up... Sorry if this is not on the lines of what you guys are talking about, but I set up MySQL and I sym link the database from one file system to another for redundancy purposes. So, when I upgrade, I just break the link and upgrade, then re link. It has worked so far (well, only one upgrade as of yet). Is this a BAD idea? Was I just lucky?
When I backup, I just backup the dir that pertains to the database. I have not had to restore anything yet... I appreciate the comments good or bad so I don't get stuck in the future...
