NAME

       gm-backup_database - complete backup of GNUmed database

SYNOPSIS

       gm-backup_database

DESCRIPTION

       The  gm-backup_database  script  creates  a backup of the database schema, data, and roles
       which can be used to restore a GNUmed database from scratch.

       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.
