[Exist-open] Proper eXist Backup Techniques

[Chris H. <xm...@li...>]

My apologies if this is not the right place for this question.

We had an incident where our current eXist install was accidentally wiped
out, and when the appserver started up again (using Resin in this instance)
it overwrote the database and a bunch of xquery scripts I had written.
Luckily I had backups of the xquery scripts, but all the data in eXist was
lost.

So, my question is what is the commonly-accepted practice for creating
automated backups of the data stored in eXist?
