The Importance of Backups
Posted by Barcode James on November 3rd, 2009
Note to self: Always make regular backups of your mysql database.
If you do not backup your mysql database on a regular basis, then when your webserver’s admin decides to randomly drop the database you will be screwed. I had to revert to an older database backup, because I hadn’t made a recent update, and the admin decided to randomly delete the database on me.
