[mythtv-users] Subject: Small backup script

[Kevin Johnson]

I created a small script that takes backup of the whole database and
some individual tables. I use it just before each update, to be on the
safe side...
 
Perhaps someone else could use it, too.
 
 
It saves everything in /myth/backup, so create the folder if it doesn't already exist or change it to something else..
It compresses the dumps to save space.
 
Please change the your-mythtv-user and your-mythtv-password entries with the correct data.

Feel free to change it, improve it or delete it ;-).

This is just great.  I really appreciate it when people create and share scripts like this.
Could this be altered in such a way that it would restore the backed-up files also?
