Hello everyone, I am looking into upgrading a lot of the software (PHP, MySQL, sendmail, Apache) on my 2 servers (RH8 and RH9) but I'm quite nervous about it. These are both production servers and I cannot afford to have the upgrades go south (probably because of lack of knowledge on my part) and the servers stop functioning. One is a web server and the other handles email. What I'd like to do is make a backup of the entire filesystem (or whatever parts are necessary) that I can use to restore the failed upgrade back to a working state. For example, let's say I'm upgrading MySQL and I do something wrong and I ruin the install. At this point I'd like to take the backup I made, restore it, restart (if necessary) and be back in business with my old configuration. I'm currently already making nightly backups of /home, /var, and /etc. Will those be enough to successfully restore? Thanks, Chris. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
