[mythtv] an idea from ruby on rails

[buzz]

In my daily cron job I run this 4 line script which keeps the last 7 backups
live on disk, long enough for me to quickly rewind to a recent version, and
for my backup software to put them to more permanent backup weekly. it's
basic, but functional for roll-back purposes.  I loose meta-info for the
occassional recording if I rollback after a recording was made,

# cat mysql_backup_myth
#!/bin/bash
cd /var/log/mythtv
mysqldump -u root --password=my00SQL mythconverg > dump-`date
+"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"`-myth.sql
ls -t dump-*.sql | head -7 | xargs rm

Buzz.
