Full backups being done?
-
I’m reading the other links on this subject and getting the picture that maybe not everything is being backed up. But since I’m not clear what should be backed up I’ll ask a related question.
When I manually use DreamHost back up of all my site I get all the mail files, sql database and a large tar file that has the name of my server. Together right now this is just over 2GB per backup.
When I now use the DreamObject backup plugin I get a 5MB zip file. When I look inside that I see a few files adding up to at most 25MB. This is a long way off from 2GB.
So I’m looking for clarification — what is the plugin backing up? What is the difference between a full Dreamhost manual backup? Is there a best practice on using one vs the other? Thanks
