NAME

       gm-backup - complete backup of GNUmed database

SYNOPSIS

       gm-backup

DESCRIPTION

       The gm-backup script creates a backup of the database schema, data, and roles which can be
       used to recreate the backed up GNUmed database from scratch or to  restore  data  into  an
       existing GNUmed database (that is devoid of any data).

       It  is  a  really  good  idea  to use it in a daily cron/anacron job to ensure that GNUmed
       patient data are safe against data loss.  The Debian GNU/Linux  packaged  version  of  the
       GNUmed server installs such a cron job by default.
