Backup command for AWL?

["Rosenbaum, Larry M." <ro...@ornl.gov>]

The Bayes database can be backed up and restored with sa-learn --backup/--restore.  Is there any similar way to back up and restore a MySQL-based AWL database?  The "check_whitelist" command is only good for DBM files.

That's a possibility.  I'm currently doing that for AWL and Bayes, but I have a question.  Why does the output from mysqldump get bigger every day, while the output from sa-learn --backup stays at about the same size?  (The expiry job appears to be working properly.)  It's like the bayes_token table is getting larger but still holding the same amount of data.

If you're using MySQL, why not just use the standard MySQL backup tools?
ie: mysqldump, etc.
