You need to specify what databases. Most databases need to be closed before copied or you will have discrepancies in the data. Not only that, if you will try to use the database files in the future with even a slightly different version of the software it might not work. You'd better run a script to dump all the database into a text file. all databases can do that. > 2. Perform incremental backups (at least for directories) > 3. Good integrity checks > 4.
