[IRCServices] Auto-Backup

[viperzpit]

This isnt necessarily related to this except in this:
Is it normal for the services DBs to get corrupted (read zeroed, blank db)
about 1/3 times you use /operserv shutdown or die or restart?  I have tried
it under RedHat 7.1 and Debian Sid, both have the same problem... Might it
be that I am using it with UnrealIRCd?  Any ideas... I have a crontab that
copies the dbs to a rotated backup every 6 hours, but i don't know if an
update is really needed or not before just copying the db's....  Also, on
another note -- the dbs never have a problem if i just kill the services
pid.  Really odd....
