Do You Backup Your Database?

Monday August 13, 2007
Well I learned the hard way this weekend that I should take my own advice and backup my MySQL databases! Any of your scripts that have a MySQL back (forums, blogs, etc) store all their data in the database, so if something happens to it you're pretty much starting from scratch. Be smart and backup regularly!
