You should backup also the article dir in otrs/var directory if you separated the attachment storage from DB, otherwise all your messages will not have the attachments. Use something like: start_time=$(/bin/date +"%F.%T" | /usr/bin/tr -s : _) /bin/tar -cpjSf $start_time-otrsarticles.tar.bz2 /opt/otrs/var/article Make a cron job of this in conjuction to the backup.pl and you are done.

Isnt the backup/restore script supposed to back the entire OTRS installation up? I recently had a server crash and had to rebuild my OTRS installation from scratch. When I restored the the OTRS installation using the resotre.pl script, the only tables that got restored was the article tables. All of the other data is gone i.e users, queues etc. Did I do something wrong or is backup.pl not meant to perform a complete OTRS system backup?
Any help is appreciated
