Dear Arminder,

Well i tried the implemented Backup function, and it backs up with no
probelm, but when trying to restore it just gets me an error. So i asked
the Cobalt-Escalation Support and they told me that the Backup/restore
on a RAQ3 doesnt work.
Do u have any other idea how to backup, when not using Legato or Arkeia?

Yours

Rudi

Dear Rudi,

Why not use Cobalt's own backup tool wherein you can schedule too and at
the
same time make it FTP to some other location too. Also Cobalt have some
other third-party packages too viz. Legato & Arkeia File Backup. RAQ4
has
Veritas Netbackup too. You don't even need to backup individual
folders/take
postgres dump. All you need is recreate the RAQ and Restore from the
backup.
No hassles.

Backing up /etc & pg_dumpall won't recreate the whole site structure and
moreover no data will be backed up that way. So this is not a right way,
just wastage of time.

Cheers

Arminder Singh
