I am new to Prisma Migrate and am wondering if it is a good idea to do database backups prior to each production migration (MySql). My though is

yes

, why take a chance. What have you found to be the best practice around this?

@brettski 👋 Unless it’s a major migration, this shouldn’t be necessary. Also depending on the data, the backup would be time consuming. As for backups, you should take those regardless of migrations being done or not for easy data restoration.

Thank you. Key word there

shouldn't

be necessary 😛. Yes, time consuming, my worry as things grow. Backups are scheduled daily with transaction logs storage, etc. I get over-cautious when it comes to databases and loss of data
