you are already using CVS and your data is not important, you
probably don't need to do anything to back up your files. Just
make sure that your current work is checked into the system. You
can then roll back based on date - note the current system time,
down to the minute. For maximum safety, you can apply a tag to your
current files. You will still need to back up your database.</p><p>Note that, if you did the CVS options in this document, the
<code class="filename">/var/lib/aolserver/$OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME/etc</code>
directory is not included in cvs and you may want to add it.</p><pre class="screen">[root root]# <strong class="userinput"><code>su - $OPENACS_SERVICE_NAME</code></strong>
