Drupal spreads it's data over the DB and the file system. You need to grab both if you want a backup of your entire drupal site. This drupal module can help you backup your DB: http://drupal.org/project/backup_migrate To backup the files, it's probably easiest to just rsync your entire drupal site. If you use backup_migrate, you can grab the DB dump as well over the same rsync session. Here's how you can backup using rsync: http://ramanchennai.wordpress.com/2009/10/17/a-simple-autotmated-backup-system/ - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
