Reminder: Backup Your Data
Just a reminder that you should be backing up your data at least weekly. I bought a nice little external Western Digital 150GB HDD like 3 months ago for backing data up and got so busy I didn’t install it. You’d think I’d know better after frying 3 laptops this year!
Anyways, it’s all setup. Doing nightly differential backups and weekly full backups.
My next step is to figure out how to get mysql to backup to my server nightly , and then to figure out how to automatically get data from the server to our backup server weekly and from the backup server to my HDD monthly.
Hopefully that doesn’t take another 3 months ;-)

I just got my Maxtor OneTouch II today. It’s a nice 300 GB with USB 2 and FIreWire. (I think FireWire 800) My lappy’s only got FireWire 400 but it’s still better than USB. Now I need to re-install windows before my hacked-to-death Registry stops anything else from working.
(I think that in the wise proverbs of our time “don’t install beta on your only computer” should be up there with “don’t eat yellow snow”.)

What software are you using for the backups?
I need to buy a SATA enclosure and set mine up.

Heh… backing up MySQL on your local machine??
about 6 years ago
Backup mysql to:
1. Local server
2. Remote server
3. My machine
4. Backup system
… That good enough? ;-)
