You can use Rivendell to automate MySQL backups but I'm an old fogey when it comes to MySQL and I do this:

#!/bin/bash
#Backup MySQL and copy somewhere
mysqldump --compress -u rduser -pletmein Rivendell | gzip -c9 > ~/backups/rivendell.`date +"%Y-%m-%d`.gz

With a bit of mount point or scp magic you can copy this zipped sql dump to somewhere safe. Then just add the script to cron:

15 21 * * * /home/rduser/scripts/backup_database.sh

Having standard MySQL and a directory with all the audio in was one of the major deciding factors in us switching to Riv a few years ago now.

Regards,

Wayne

I kept scouring the internet for clues since this was so strange... Supposedly this was to be fixed in RD 2.x but another foreign language station found that when they add symbols or accents to event names that it wipes out the clock events almost across the board. Weird. I had a "+" in one name and it wiped the events. Removing it restored it all. Whew... would have been a lot of work to restore all the clocks.
