Question
How do I backup cacti related files before upgrading?
Cause
Some files may be overwritten during upgrade. So it is important to create a backup whenever you upgrade Cacti.
Answer
You must back up all directories except the log and rra directories. If you are not concerned about the size of the backup, you can continue to back up those directories though. The following is a command example:
tar --exclude=*.rrd --exclude=*.log -cf cacti_backup.tar cacti
