At Least 2 Backups 2007-10-28 01:16:15 I recommend at least 2 backups of your server files. Blogs that utilize mysql database backends are extremely simple to backup. Your entire database can be saved as an sql file, therefore for a complete system backup you just need to scp your server files to another machine. For instance my setup involves two machines, [...] Read more:Backups
