A reminder to people with production DPMs that it's vital to take dumps of the
MySQL database. It contains essential metadata for your DPM. If you lose your
database you might as well have lost every file in your DPM as no one will be
able to get data out!
The same also applies to the LFC (though at the moment these are not yet in
production use).
To this end:
http://wiki.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/MySQL_Backups
contains a hopefully useful perl script for sites that haven't yet done this.
(Linked from various strategic points.)
Cheers
Graeme
PS. I assume that something similar needs done for dCache's postgres database?
