Building up your own vocabulary to an understanding of your computing tasks is more fun than decoding arguments to swiss army knife commands.

The standard forth methodology would be to interactively build up your "zma=
nda" (a backup? program) as source to load when when needed, then write an =
"upgraded" zmanda and load it when you want to use it, instead of loading t=
he older zmanda. The forth equivalent of upgrade in this case would be the =
forth word forget, assuming the older zmanda is loaded it would forget it, =
then load the upgraded zmanda. Upgrade complete.

ideally the code would be good enuf

I also would not use mysql nor a lamp app to back it up
