Editing Production Cluster Configuration (section)

=== Backups ===

In addition to the normal backups configured in the basic OS installation steps, the databases in the production cluster must be backed up daily using the 'mysqldump' command:

 TBD

These commands should be inserted into the /etc/cron.daily/backup file on one of the cluster nodes (telmar is a good choice).  The first does a complete database dump of the MediaWiki database server, the second dumps just the mediawiki database itself, and the third dumps the general purpose database server.  Additional dump commands should be inserted for additional significant databases, as parsing individual databases out of a system dump can be tedious.
