Make sure you properly dump and not just rsync the folder containing the database. I would have each dump compressed and have the name of the file contain the date of the dump.
Here is what I do daily for a different database backup: #! /bin/sh mkdir -p /var/backup/mythtv mysqlrepair --all-databases /usr/bin/mysqldump -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg | /bin/bzip2 -c > /var/backup/mythtv/mythtv-`date +%F`.bz2 And then every so many months I go back and delete all backups that are older then the current month.
