[Dirvish] Dirvish config

I'm not sure how long the nightly run takes to be honest. 

Actually the full backup sounds a lot more like my solutions. The only thing is that it takes quite a lot of resources from the server, load averages are about 1.0-1.4 during the process and this is server is only partly used for production so the load averages will get even higher still. I changed the /etc/cron.d/dirvish file to start running at 1 am so the high loads on the server shouldn't do any harm for our clients.

Now I got to start looking at the expiry process and when it runs. After that I will distribute this same backup-method to all of our servers.

BTW. how do you do your mysql-backup? Filebased or do you run mysql-dump every now and then?

Thanks for the help!
