Are you running PostgreSQL?

In which case the pg_dump command is all you need. Run it on a regular 
schedule with a user with sufficient access privileges, eg.

  pg_dump --format t yourdspacedbname > databasedump.2009-02-20.sql

That gives you a DB dump you can just "slurp" back in in future and will 
be enough in almost all cases.


Best,
