Hi. I'm wondering what the best way is to back up my Weblog? I'm using the Berkeley database.

If I just copy the db to my hard drive (in binary format) every so often, is that all I need to do?

In other words, if something goes wrong and I need to start over, will simply copying that file onto a server preserve all my information?

Or will I need to save my config settings, templates, and/or possibly other stuff separately as well?

Thanks in advance.....

While the db directory contains all the information, alternative backups are usually wise when it comes to Berkeley, since it's reputed to be unstable.

Frequent exports along with the other things you've mentioned are always a good idea.

If you do have access to a MySQL database on your account, that has proven for some to be a more stable option, and you can do backups with your PHPMyAdmin or shell account
