Make sure I'm backing up all needed files

[LTC Lib dfa]

Hello,

I'm setting up a backup for Koha installed from the Live CD. I want
to make sure I get everything needed. Looking at some of your earlier
posts it looks like I need to do the mysqldump of the koha database
and then also back up /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf and /etc/koha/koha-
conf.xml. I could also back up the manual and links from the desktop,
I guess. Should this get everything we need? We went mostly with
defaults and ended up choosing NoZebra if this helps.

By the way, the mysqldump command I'm using is: mysqldump -u root -p
koha > koha-backups/000000-koha-mysql.sql

To restore the database I'd use: mysqldump -u root -p koha > koha-
backups/000000-koha-mysql.sql (in both of these the 000000 is the
date of the dump).

Do these look Ok? Any other suggestions for as complete a backup as
possible would be welcomed.

Many Thanks.

The password should be "kohalivecd" not just "koha".

 

Also, if you never edited the xml and conf files, you don't need to back them up.

 

If you use the Live CD as it comes, then the mysql dump alone is a complete backup.

Oh wait I've just realized you omitted the password, and koha was for the db name. The command should look like this:

 

mysqldump -u kohaadmin -p kohalivecd koha > koha-backup.sql

 

or you can use the root user:

 

mysqldump -u root -p kohasqlpwd koha > koha-backup.sql

Alternatively, you can use phpmyadmin that comes with the Live CD.

 

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

 

user: kohaadmin

password: kohalivecd
