Hi All - recently broke my Observium install during a Ubuntu upgrade so now I am looking to build Observium on a new box.
I inherited this install and have only used it a small degree so it is fair to say I am not very familiar with the overall package but want to get a better understanding an expand my usage as much as possible.
For my new install I would like to be able to retain access to the historical data that has been collected (if possible).
I am hoping someone will be able to give me a quick rundown on what parts of the current install I should be backing up? I have taken a copy of the mysql DB to start with but I am not sure if I should be taking something else as well.
Appreciate any assistance.
Cheers
Mal
