Re: [cobalt-users] Cobalt RaQ3 Backup

["Ramon LOPEZ" <r.lopez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If i use this method,

Is the postgresql database used by the admin of the raq, backed up ?
Located in var or etc ?

and, if i use this, everything (sites, users, mails...) will be backed up
and will appear in the
control panel of the destination raq ?

Somebody use rsync ? Could you post the configuration of rsync (i saw the
manual, it as a lot of options...)

Thanks
Ramon
