There are two types of data to backup: application files (e.g. the files in /opt/otrs), and the data stored in the database.
To simplify backups, the script scripts/backup.pl is included with every OTRS installation. It can be run to backup all important data (see Script 22.1 below).

All data was stored in the directory /backup/2010-09-07_14-28/ (see Script 22.3 below). Additionally, the data was saved into a .tar.gz file.
linux:/opt/otrs/scripts# ls /backup/2010-09-07_14-28/ Application.tar.gz Config.tar.gz DatabaseBackup.sql.gz linux:/opt/otrs/scripts# |
