I had a script that ran mythconverge_backup.pl every night to make a backup of the database to my home directory which I backup
and is on a raid mirror.
I do this because I want my database backed up.
Unfortunately, at some point this script has changed, and now even though I run it from my home directory, the backup is saved
in the recordings directory which is a single drive, and not backed up.
Of course, I lost by recordings drive, and therefore lost my database backups. I went and checked the drive the backups my
script used to save to and found that the last backup was in November of 2019.
I'm starting from a blank data base now, and don't want to repeat this problem, so I need to know how to tell
mythconverge_backup.pl where to save backups.
I did a google search but could not find any instructions on how to use mythconverge_backup.pl.
I would appreciate it if someone would point me at the instructions for mythconverge_backup.pl.
Thanks.
