excuse my newbie question but how can i backup my centos server? i have a dozzen of virtual hosts over it as well as substantial database entries.. i've backed up the following directories using rsync: workspace/ /etc/httpd/ /etc/apache-tomcat-6.0.20/ /usr/lib/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql
For mysql, I would use mysqldump instead of rsyncing the whole mysql directories... Something like: mysqldump <DATABASE> | gzip -9 > <DATABASE>-<DATE>.gz
