Backup and Migrate - what data to exclude?
October 28, 2012, 06:31:03 pm
I read for migrations we can exclude certain tables entirely:

  • wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Alternate+Moving+the+database+using+phpMyAdmin
  • wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Moving+an+Existing+Installation+to+a+New+Server+or+Location

Does anyone know if its ok to exclude the same tables or just the table data when doing just a regular backup please?

It is not mentioned here either way:

  • wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/Backup+Data

Many thanks.

ps Sorry I am not allowed to add links for some reason.

exclude the data but keep the table creation

in general the backups should be complete and also include the table creation. that way, you have a complete snapshot of the table schema
