Backup

[hugleo]

Are there a backup option or backup plugin to cacti?
Perhaps generate tar.gz file to configurations and graphs.

Please see 1st link of my sig. The maintenance chapter tells you how to backup your mysql database. You may copy/rsync your rrd files if you want to backup them as well. Backing up graphs seems not a valid goal for me; you should backup rrd files instead. From those, you will be able to generate graphs

Hey,

I was also looking for this.
What i do today, is from time to time taking a dump of the db, and copy the whole cacti folder.
But i think it would be a nice feature in the future to have a kind of auto backup system on board, no?
You know how lazy people are when you're talking about backups...

We do provide some hints how to backup, see documentation which shows exact examples how to solve that problem. But we won't create a backup function for Cacti; there are enough backup options on OS level out there.
