How to backup mysql database?
Could anyone post a step by step tutorial on backing up and restoring GM's database? Is a backup feature planned for GM in the near future?

Hello!

I myself am not clear as to how it will affect the directories that are on the harddrive.

Simply having a dump file may not help in recovering the entire installation + messages.

Eliot covered the original question about backing up the MySQL database. You would also need to backup the /home/account/webmail/data dir if you want to do a complete GM backup. Overwrite the templates when you upgrade as they tend to have a lot of bug fixes in them.
