samona Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Based on best practice, what directory is used to backup databases? Do you have to create your own, or is there a specific folder in Linux where you should store your sql files?

aschk Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Specify the backup directory yourself. We don't know where you want it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/124932-best-practice-for-backup-location/#findComment-645608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Doesn't matter, it's for your own good. I personally just have the backup folder in the same directory as to what I'm backing up. I keep it the same folder structure as well. But if you're backing something up like a database I usually just date it like this, "091908.sql".

corbin Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I always [if possible] put any kind of backup on a different physical drive. Drives don't die that much anymore (although still happens in heavy load environments enough to be a concern), but I guess I'm just paranoid. Edit: I worded that badly.... I meant that drives aren't likely to die in my personal situation, where I have low read/writes and so on.
