    Default Database Backup Procedure

    As an IT professional, I suggest you use transactional backups... that way you can return to the single point of failure for a restore as opposed to what you are doing now... a manual backup? Once a week? Only when there is a programming change?

    Actually, we have it setup to backup every hour. However, the backups stopped at 12-31 at 11:30 PM, I assume due to the year change over (a bug in the backup software in any case). It goes without saying that we'll be switching to a different backup solution. Actually, that's part of what I have been doing, in addition to considering and working on solutions that would best address the actual issue for all players...researching the best solution for database backup.

    Paragon, and BackupAssist are both good backup software solutions.

    Neither of those cover MySQL databases. Not to worry. We have a triple redundant system in place now.
