I use my own bash Shell script. It commits all the database dumps to a git repository and then pushes it to a central repository (but the script could just as easily be modified to use svn or mercurial or ...). That way you have versioned backups both on the local machine as on a remote host (or hosts even) going back as far as you want. Then just let a cron take care of executing the script as frequently as you want. http://pastie.org/293699 Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
