What dbs?

(I'm already kicking off the apps from a script to backup the data after
I close the app - but if the backup doesn't work than I'm back to square
one)
Or instead of backing up the data - do an rsync from the directories of
/var to /home ? (would this be better ?)

How isn't that a backup? As for "better" I think the results are
probably exactly the same. How are you performing your "backup" now?
