Tressler's comments have been incorporated into
http://drupal.org/node/22281.


Forgive me, father, for I have sinned and not written in the node's
changelog. I started by re-working some of the sentences on this page to
try and incorporate Tressler's comments, and ended up pulling out a
triage knife. I spent so long writing that I forgot to make comments.
This was a pretty hefty change too. What should I do? Edit it again with
changelog added?

The first one, while, interesting is not Drupal related really and I
feel that anyone running their own server knows to make backups of what
they need.  The second comment is already in the main doc.

"
I will re-work a couple paragraphs in here so that it becomes more
obvious to the reader that the /files/ directory should be backed up
more regularly than the entire set of core files would be. I also +1 the
removal of both of these comments, as they in no way pertain to the
page's topic, which states, in full, "Backing up your DRUPAL site". Not
your webserver.

Two things...


1) Nothing guarantees /files to be /files - if someone named it /other,
then /other would be automatically created in that process, hence the
doc should be more specific.  Backup the files directory specified on
the Site Configuration Page.  Also, if someone else did your install and
was sloppy enough to leave a /files directory at root but then created a
/files directory below /sites -> thats a problem also.  


2) I usually backup all my core and contrib files too.  Its time &
resource consuming, but /do you/ know which version of all your contrib
modules you are running; right now.  I don't know, and certain things
require certain upgrade paths - particularly pre 4.7.


As far as this go I wold just say to regularly back up "The entire
drupal directory (make sure to get your files directory if it is above
root), or save a .diff of a standard files backup, if your root is too
large."
