Subject:Seeking Backup Strategy
View as plain text  
Hello,

After many months of preparation, I am finally going to go live with a project I have
created. It is your basic e-commerce site, where I need to make sure I have a current
backup, specifically on the orders placed, etc.

I am going to run the mysql server on a PC possibly running XP. (Small startup, and Tomcat
is running there).

I am considering buying a tape drive, and somehow backing up the database periodically
throughout the day. I am sure there are some best practices for this.

Could anyone enlighten me as to how to back this up, and how often. Up until now, I have
always done database exports and imports, so I could use any info.

Sincerely
Scott
