C0D4681455yIf it's for data, automate a backup process or snapshots on a scheduled task and.. I'm assuming mysql based on profile... just run mysql_dumps and upload them to an external storage.
I wouldn't put a DB into version control unless it's only structural information/ stored procedures and configurational data that would be used in the event you needed to create a new DB and somehow loose the snapshots. -
rytzpekt2755yThere is a DB designed for this use case. Quite handy IMHO.

Have you been using any services to
1. automate a backup process -
2 .take snapshots on a scheduled task - -
C0D4681455y@sandeepbalan not since moving everything to AWS a few years ago which we have private S3 buckets for.
But before that I had VMWare run daily snapshots of the VMs and I just wrote a php cronjob that exported the database with exec(mysql_dump) on a daily basis, zip it up, and send it to another server, ah the good ol' days.
