Backup of data

[Siedi]

Hi,

I'd like to make a backup of the data files in case the server crashes
(so I don't have to reprocess a whole year of logs).

Are there any scripts, best practices? What files are needed? I assume
the reports directory is the most important one? Can the history-
directory be deleted? Is it enought to backup the YYYYMM-
*backupv6*.zip files?

Thanks
Siedi

Hi Siedi,

Here's an article which describes how to upgrade Urchin. If you follow
the first 3 steps, it will walk you through backing up the install.

Hi Kirk,

thanks for the feedback. in general that's what we are already doing.
The problem is that the data directory is quite huge, so it would be
good to know what's really worth to back up (like the zip files in the
report dir only?)

Well it depends on your archive settings. How big is your data
directory?
