What I usually post in the forum is what I use.  It's a great place to
document what I do, so I can repeat months later.  My memory is not what it
used to be, so I have to document. I usually steal what I do from others a
lot smarter than I am.

As to my backup script, I read from Stephen down under that you need to
optimize the database regularly as well as backup, so I modified his script
and it emails me the results of the optimize and backup everyday.  I also
moved it to a systemd service/timer since that makes sense to me.  I never
have figured out cron and system v init.  So systemd makes a lot of sense
to me. I know I'm one of the few.
