Re: Important iTools 6.5 and Jaguar Information

Terry,

Although we do not have a backup script, I would back up all of the files
under /Library/WebServer (especially the tenon directory), and in
/etc/named.  It would also be a good idea to back up the /etc/httpd
directory to save the Apache configuration.

I agree that a feature to backup/restore entire configurations is a
feature that would provide significant benefit to iTools.  We will
investigate including it in iTools 7.0.

Thanks,

Erik.
