It's all stuffed into an SQL table of MySQL. While I could just make a
copy of that file, I'm lazy, and would rather it just not happen in the
first place. Besides, I don't have access to restart the MySQL server in
the event I would need that replaced. I could have used:
mysqldump -u username -p circlehosts -t > backup
but then I'd have to deal with importing the stuff gone and errors and
whatnot. Nice reminder though, I could have.
I'd rather completely prevent the problem than be really fast at fixing it,
however.
