Does rundeckdb.trace.db really need be backup?

[ozbillwang]

In document backup and recovery (http://rundeck.org/docs/administration/backup-and-recovery.html#backup), we are asked to backup the whole data folder /var/lib/rundeck/data

But seems the file rundeckdb.trace.db is plain text file with a lot of errors in it (Currently in my environment, there are ldap error reported) , it makes the file really big.

[rundeck@rundeck data]$ file rundeckdb.trace.db
rundeckdb.trace.db: ASCII text
[rundeck@rundeck data]$ file rundeckdb.h2.db
rundeckdb.h2.db: data

[rundeck@rundeck data]$ head -5  rundeckdb.trace.db
02-17 12:21:29 jdbc[3]: exception
org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Feature not supported: "isWrapperFor" [50100-176]
    at org.h2.message.DbException.getJdbcSQLException(DbException.java:344)
    at org.h2.message.DbException.get(DbException.java:178)
    at org.h2.message.DbException.get(DbException.java:154)

I take care the ldap error by myself, backup is serious thing I am working on. I upload the data folder to s3 bucket daily, so need know your option, if I DO need backup rundeckdb.trace.db or not.

If that's only log in it, shouldn't be named as *.db, maybe rundeckdb.trace.log is better name, and should be moved to logs folder

@SydOps I would treat it as kind of debug information. I don't use it.

@SydOps it is not needed. see this issue too #1175 (comment)
