It (the system) will not pick up rc.* changes unless you reboot.
Start mysql by hand once. Perhaps I misunderstand your question.
("it didn't pick up" is unclear to me.)
I do not believe /var/backups contains anything until it is backed up
by the /etc/daily script. Nothing will document /var/backups better than
the source code which writes files to it.
You might wish to manually run /etc/weekly and /etc/monthly once after
installation.
