civicrm tables that are site specific.....
December 12, 2010, 11:27:43 pm
I want to maintain a backup server where the main site is located on example.com domain and the backup is at backup.example.com. I want to, via a cron job, take the database of example.com and live backup it up to backup.example.com. Both the site and the subdomain are on different servers at different locations. The plan should work except for one question..... What tables in the civicrm database are site specific? I want to exclude those because of the obvious hassle of having to reconfigure the sites after the data copy. Also the drupal database data will be moved and the file data will stay (it never changes but the db content does daily).

Has anyone done this before?

Thanks!

PS: Dave if you end up reading this the revisions in 3.3.1 in the gui css are awesome! My site flows so much better now.

I do not know all the tables that are site specific, but I believe civicrm_domain is one...

I exclude civicrm_domain & do structure only on any file that ends with _cache (also drupal sessions table)

I use backup_migrate module for this
