.TH GM-BACKUP_DATABASE 8 "2009 January 8th" "GNUmed server database backup" .SH NOTE .I Deprecated in favour of gm-backup(8). .SH NAME .B gm-backup_database - complete backup of GNUmed database .SH SYNOPSIS .B gm-backup_database .SH DESCRIPTION The .B gm-backup_database script creates a backup of the database schema, data, and roles which can be used to restore a GNUmed database from scratch. It is a really good idea to use it in a daily cron/anacron job to ensure that GNUmed patient data are safe against data loss. The Debian GNU/Linux packaged version of the GNUmed server installs such a cron job by default. It is recommended to use .B gm-backup instead. .SH SEE ALSO .B gm-backup_data(8) .B /etc/gnumed/gnumed-backup.conf .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Andreas Tille , for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
