I only back up filesat the moment (/etc, /home, some dirs in /var) but I would be interested in: - backing up svn repositories using "svnadmin dump" (does something similar exist for git?) - backing up mysql databases using mysql dumps (or the same with postgres) Is anybody doing this? Now that I am reminded of these TODOs, I might look into it this weekend... Philipp
