Backing up a site, manuallyBacking up a site, manually

Agaric's procedures for backing up a site manually, when we feel like being paranoid, which is quite a lot lately.
Back up the database the Agaric way, including bringing it down to a local computer.
Bring down the files that are not kept in version control:
Ebony:~/Documents/Web Sites Data/COA News & FSTV/media reform job/backup ben$ scp -r ben@66.135.37.243:/var/www/drupal-5-live/sites/democraticmedia.ca/files files
Ebony:~/Documents/Web Sites Data/COA News & FSTV/media reform job/backup ben$ scp -r ben@66.135.37.243:/var/www/drupal-5-live/sites/democraticmedia.ca/settings.php settings.php
Make sure both your local checkout and the live checkout of the site's theme are up to date:
server:/var/www/drupal-5-live/sites/democraticmedia.ca# svn update
At revision 1048.Ebony:~/workspace/repos/drupal ben$ svn update
At revision 1048.
OK, that was overkill, updating the entire repository.
