@waifu That's just the database, you should also backup all the media files.

@matrix @waifu That depends. If there's already redundancy or you're using something like S3, wasabi, etc. then that's not really something you need to worry about.

@sjw @waifu I run everything on the VPS so the only redundancy I have are VMWare snapshots.

@matrix @waifu they should really put the basic commands like these into the documentation or at least hint at it imo
@matrix @waifu don't forget the config and the uploads/ (provided you don't put them into s3 or whatever)

@waifu @pony Just manually copy it to a different place or make a script that does it.

@matrix @waifu That's some pussy code right there! Real sysadmins don't do backups because they don't let things go wrong to begin with.
