Yeah I will go in to the wikia site later and try to point direct
links to the new wiki pages...

I'll look at that URL -

I actually have a two-phase backup. A daily cronjob running out of
/etc/cron.daily that does svndump, mysqldump, tarball of /etc and a
few other configurations around the server and dumps it into
/backup/$date. It removes the /backup/$date from 28 days ago
(configurable) so it does not fill up - I figure a ~ month is good
enough.

Then I have a process that runs on the backup server (offsite) that
does an rsync of the /backups/ dir and /home/ - it does a ZFS snapshot
of the home backup. So ZFS snapshots are for /home (nothing setup to
remove them yet, so they will be there forever until I decide to
delete some snapshots, or auto-delete older ones) and the daily
config/db backups are not snapshotted as they're already daily in
their 20081117 directory for example.

This gives me daily snapshots of both the /home data and all configs,
dbs, svn repo, etc. I can if I need to diff two sql dumps, or even
diff the /home filesystem since ZFS has records of it all... so I
think I have taken care of what Brian was looking for, at least when I
took a quick glance at his blog post.
