Does anyone have suggestions on how to back up the sympa mysql database?

The automysqlbackup backup script looks like an easy choice.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/
With instructions on usage at:
http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mysqlscript.htm

It basically uses the syntax 'mysqldump > backupfile.sql'  but takes care of
all the compression, rotation, and e-mailing logs.

For backing up the sympa folders, it looks like we just need to do a tar of 
the
sympa home folder (either /home/sympa or /var/lib/sympa) and the sympa mail
spool folder (/var/spool/mail/sympa )
