Backing up RT's configuration files?

Hello all.

I have temporary custodianship over our RT server and would like to implement some sort of simple script backup system.

I'm planning on just dumping a copy of the database onto our backup server but what other files should I tar and move off the host? I am not very familiar with the underpinnings of RT so it's difficult for me to decide what to backup.

What files/directories should I backup so that I can quickly recover the RT server and our ticket content in the event of Something Bad(TM)?


Thanks.

Sorry all - I'm a bit confused on where these files live.

I have RT-ish stuff in:

/usr/share/request-tracker4
/usr/local/share/request-tracker4
/etc/request-tracker4

Should I just grab all of those directories in my backup?

What about the mail filters for each queue? I can't find anything in /etc/postfix/ that looks related. Are the filters configured within-RT?

I'm working with a Debian server for what its worth.

Hi Kevin,

I think it's enough to back up:
- etc/ containing RT's config files
- local/ containing all the extensions you added and your own customizations

Regards

Yes. See `dpkg -L request-tracker4` for all the files the Debian
package installed, and if there are any directories you missed.

With the official packages this is slightly easier since everything
lives under one directory (/opt/rt4).

/etc/aliases?

Don't forget your crontab for RT.
