Thanks John for the quick reply. Not sure i understand your reply.
and is it recommended to use yum update command to update to 6.5 on a production environment without testing.
if 'production' means what it does in my $job's enterprise environment, absolutely not. we do nothing to a production environment without testing first in a staging environment that replicates production. updated of complicated production systems is tricky.
that said, things like development servers, hobby internet webservers running a few blogs and stuff, things like that, I regularly do yum update's on, but I also have backups if its at all important, so I can revert to last night if there's a problem.
You said backups. Any backup program you suggest to back up all configuration files and data?
