Hi Rico
You have to look at least for the mysql error log from time to time.
If you have logging on (update or full) you have to logrotate, to prevent mysql from
exhausting your diskspace.
Also every DB admin should make backups from time to time.
How often depends on the changing frequence of your DB's.
