Hello,
well, I don't use any distribution package; I installed OpenCA from sources. But I don't have 'configure_etc.sh' in my openca src tree ( I think it's included in openca 0.9.2, and I use 0.9.1.3 ).

Yes, I work on 0.9.2 and so I'm sometimes a little bit confused :)


Anyway, why should I save directories such as openca-lib, cgi-bins, perl modules and binaries? Are they written in everyday operations (like certificate issuing), maybe with temporary files? Can't I assume them to be somehow more 'static' than database and openca-var?
What about 2 backup levels: a big one, including openca-lib, perl modules, binaries and so on, to be run for example once every some months, and a normal backup (an 'everyday' backup), saving only database, var and ldap?

The only reason for the backup of lib, modules etc. is to have a backup of the installed software. Sometimes the used source version is lost or you fixed a problem by hand and after the recovery the problem is present again. Therefore it is recommended to have a software backup.


I only recommend this because of my own problems.
