Hi Olli, hi @all, Also sprach Olli Aro ([email protected]):
> My version does not have bin directory or _Config.xml files. I assume they > have been removed in later versions? You don't have (or need) the *_Config.xml if you don't run your own UGAIM-Server. Also, if your Opensim runs from a precompiled / downloaded snapshot, the bin-Directory usually is your opensim-Directory (where you find the Opensim.exe). Here's a snippet from my current update script: BCKPFILES="config-include/ *Server_Config.xml estate_settings.xml AssetInventoryServer.ini Hypergrid/ Regions/ *\.db OpenSim.ini startup_commands.txt mysql_connection.ini" > Also, I noticed that some of the data such as inventory is stored in XML. There are currently 4 useful ways to backup Sim content: XML, OAR, dumping the database content into SQL, or saving the DB binaries directly. (Note, this is only the data, not the configuration files, see above.) For the virtyou MetaGrid we run nightly snapshots via OAR and PNG, and weekly sql dumps of the MySQL databases. All config files are backupped before each version update of the Opensim binaries. > So, if I backup all XML files, opensim.ini and the database, would that be > enough to restore? No. ;-) At least you need to add the config-include/ directory, for current installations. Also I decided to refrain from doing binary DB copies, since this is virtyoually unparsable in case of an error. Instead we mirror all databases to another server and do plain (and slow) SQL dumps there.
