Re: How to backup configs

[Jon H. <j.h...@ta...>]

I don't know what copyconfig.pl is for (although I'd guess it might be
something to do with cloning modules).  However, if I wanted to backup all
of my configuration then I'd probably just make a tar file of the config
directory:

(as root)
cd /etc
tar cf /scratch/webmin-config-backup.tar webmin

(the configs would be stored in a file called webmin-config-backup.tar in
/scratch (assuming you have a /scratch file system).  To restore

(as root)
cd /etc
tar xf /scratch/webmin-config-backup.tar

(you may have installed the configs somewhere else but if you installed from
the tarball by default they go into /etc/webmin/ I think)

Hope this helps (and I haven't been stating the obvious).

Jon
