I'm working on the upgrade steps needed for GNU Health 2.0.
Their README file lists making a copy of the database as the second step,
which seems like a very good idea:
pg_dump gnuhealth181 > backup181.sql
My question is where in the filesystem on Debian should I put these backup
copies? Is there another package part of Debian Med that is making backups
of it's data[base] before upgrading? How is that handled?
Or would backing up before upgrading be a feature already baked into
dbconfig-common and I'm just not opening my eyes enough? ([0] mentions
backing up, but I can't find any other mention elsewhere)
